S.S. Sailboat Winch Drill Adapter Bit
This is to be chucked into a drill and used on a sheet or halyard winch, right? Where does the AC come from that''s powering the AC-powered drill? A 12/14/18V DC battery-powered drill motor isn''t likely to be up to these tasks. Even if it was, the battery will give out in short order, after which it will need to be charged...so again, where does the AC come from?

I would hate to think that the guy selling this thing expects us to first turn on the inverter and begin drawing down our House Bank before we walk to the mast to raise the first sail of the day.
