[C320-list] Who is using angle drill for wenches

[Leonard Hooks via C320-list]

If you use a drill or angle grinder to raise your main, which one do you
use?

I recently purchased a Milwaukee Angle Drill to use to raise my main, but
even though it has a variable speed trigger, the slightest touch takes it
to almost full speed. I would lke to raise the sail slower so I watch to
keep it clear of the Stackpac ropes or anything else to hang it up.

Any thoughts?.

Leonard,

I use a Milwaukee Angle Drill. However, I have in boom roller furling, so it is an unobstructed run up and down. I still raise and lower in bursts versus all out.

I can see it being a bit much if I had slides, lazy jacks, etc. to catch on.
