Winches > SeepdGrip Handles

Patented Harken SpeedGrip handles have been widely copied but only ours has an independent swivel between the handle and top knob. This independent swivel keeps the wrist in alignment and helps to prevent painful and unnecessary tendon stress.

SpeedGrip handles are economically designed to match a wide range of cranking needs. At low loads the smooth knob is palmed for very fast cranking. As the load increases slightly, the fingers naturally close to grip the knob. Under higher loads, the hand slides onto the vertical grip for normal operation. As the load increases further, the second hand grips the knob which brings the strength of the upper body and torso to bear in powerful two-handed cranking. The low-profile SpeedGrip handles are ideal for both light and heavy loads. The knob offers higher speed and the lower profile reduces the bending moment.

Since their introduction SpeedGrip handles have been widely accepted by both racing and cruising sailors, who find that they are the perfect multipurpose winch handle. They were widely used in events like the Whitbread and America's Cup, even on boats not using Harken winches. Many boats are replacing their double-grip handles with SpeedGrips and saving weight without sacrificing performance.

Only Harken SpeedGrip handles have an independent swivel between the knob and the handle. This swivel keeps the wrist in alignment and helps prevent tendon injuries All winch handles feature ball bearing grips for more efficient and comfortable operation

The upper section of the SpeedGrip knob is molded in urethane for a comfortable feel and for better grip when palming the handle SpeedGrips are lock-in handles and are offered in 8" (203 mm) and 10" (254 mm) lengths in both aluminum and chrome The low-profile B8ASGLP is an 8" (203 mm) aluminum SpeedGrip handle with no vertical grip. It is designed for use on small boats such as the J/24 where the concern is speed, not power 8" (903 mm) handles are faster because the hand swings through a smaller circle, but they reduce power by 20% 10" (254 mm) handles are the industry standard and have proven to be the most comfortable length for most people. Published power ratios for most winches are based on the use of 10" (254 mm) handles
