Each winch it’s own handle! Very conveniant! We started with 2 small ones but for the bigger winch not enough. Now with 3 extra bigger ones we are completely happy!

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 23 reviews.
We have six of them now and are happy🤗
So fare so good, very promising! It seems to be a very strong design built on Quality Components, which is a must,like the stainless Steel parts. Om looking forward to test them under thought conditions Göran
The sailing season in Sweden is more or less over. I can send a review on my way to Svalbard 2027. Best regards Thomas Krook
Very useful for short handed sailing. We don’t have to put and release winch handles for every winch. But production quality control should be considered more because I bought the 1st time 6 flippers, 2nd times 2 flipper Max, 3rd time 4 flipper Max. For 1st time and 3rd time purchase, each one product has 1 error flipper and flipper Max. Shop didn’t release flipper Max when I bought the 1st time. For my 36ft Cruiser Racer, original flipper is a bit small during over 16kt wind windward sailing. Concept is 5 star but production quality is lower than concept so totally I rate 4 star. Anyway this winch handle is really useful and I really love it.
In spite of paying a fair amount for delivery it didn’t arrive quickly so haven’t had a chance to try it yet. If I’m paying for delivery, I’d normally expect next day delivery- not a week later.
Good experience.
Brilliant design, well executed. Super flexible. We can grind the winches from inside enclosure. We can leave the winch handles on the winches. Really well done.
Not had a chance to use it yet, but seems very durable and well made.
Good
It’s off-season in Finland now, so handled cannot be tested until next summer. But if they will prove as good as they look I will be very pleased. The rating application did not work for delivery part, but everything worked ok with the shipment.
Very good hat i dont have to swap the winchhandle from side to side
I love the new Max folding winch handles - they work great for the large 55 winches on my 49' yacht.

Store owner replied: Thanks Mario and fair winds!
Fast delivery, not used yet, cannot review performance but believe it will be a success
Very good engineering. Works extremely well on Harken 46 Radial Rewind Winches.
We sail a J130, generally just the two of us. I find these really handy to have aboard, especially for short handed racing. It's a little wide for us, so does require more thought and care into quick tacks to get the sheets to not snag on them. Only had a pair a few weeks so far but pretty happy. I think we will get more used to using them and accounting for the width. Quality is good, will see how they do over time for the price.
Look and feel great, Boat is on the hard for winter so haven't used them yet.
Clever design.
My brother is deeply enjoing sailing with these. I've never seen him so happy. Thanks
Great product as always !
