Just walked the wife through the winch concept and she approves of the idea so that's the path.

Came in and started googling AC winches.

One of my earlier reluctance's with a winch is they are a bit overkill. I only need to lift maybe 15 lbs not 1,500.

Then I thought, well, it's just a motor with pulley and I only need 10 or so ft of cable, why not just make one using an old corded drill? It's got all the components, AC power, motor, chuck to rig a pully into, forward and reverse trigger.

I have a whole drawer of old semi busted power tools like, drills, sanders, grinders, etc....

I'm sure I can find something.
