Electric winch vs. drill power attchments

paul4414 How do you raise your anchor?

with the drill ? is this a manual windlass you've installed ?

I use a Milwalkee right angle drill and a drill bit (winchbit.com) and it works great. It sure costs a lot less than the Winch Buddy. I asked the rep how he had the nerve to charge $1400 for the winch buddy and he told me that it was because it came with a Subrella cover. Sure seems like a lot ($800) to pay for a cover.
I also use the drill and bit to raise my anchor. Costs a lot less than a windlass.
