And its called Superwinch.

After spending 2 hours on Saturday trying to pull, draw and haul the FIAT into the garage I bought a winch.

2000LBS 12v winch. Its almost civilized.

I'll put it on the "future" trailer, but for now its a great way to get the FIAT back into the garage.

My trailer came with one. I'm a fan.

Something for your back pocket...

Awesome idea.

Bought the accessory kit last night to make this a little safer.

I'll be using this rule. In the garage and trailer.

Physics Law #2: double the line with a Pulley Block and double the pulling power of your winch. Removing extra rope from the drum to use with a pulley block not only doubles winch power, it allows you to work in the Pulling Power Zone™
