This Harken handle is a 10 in aluminum double handle with a ball bearing grip and a locking design. It is a low-friction ball bearing handle with a height of 11-1/4 in and a rise of 1-1/2 in. The grip passes cranking power into the winch, and the handle fits international standard winch sockets. It weighs 23.0 oz.
Our take
The ball bearing grip on this 10 in handle is there to pass cranking power into the winch efficiently, and it fits international standard winch sockets. At 23.0 oz and 11-1/4 in tall, check clearance around your winch before choosing it.
From our buying guide
Harken says its handles fit international standard winch sockets and other makers' winches, except old bronze Merriman-style ones. Length sets the leverage: Harken says an 8 in grinds faster but gives 20% less power than a 10 in.
Check before you buy:
- The real length is what you expect, since lengths are nominal. Barton's 8 inch handle measures 225 mm.
- Locking or plain suits you. Lewmar weighs the security of a lock-in against the flexibility of a traditional handle, and Harken says racers prefer plain.
- It floats, if that matters to you. Lewmar says its composite Titan handles float if dropped overboard.
