Eh I thought you weren't supposed to use power tools to lower or raise the winch Exclamation

Do not use power tools to lower the spare wheel.
Doing so may damage the mechanism.

I would think there's a good chance of making a decent tool that can be left in place tbh Thumbs Up 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
