Forums, Mast, Rigging and Sails, Winch handles

Have just had cranked stanchions fitted so looking to buy some grown up winch handles.
Has anyone got advice on which is the best locking handle for a Contessa with older Lewmar 42ST winches?

Lewmar One Touch – 10 inch (I think)

Thanks Colin that’s the one I had my eye on.

Lewmar one-touch are really nice to use but at a price. For the last few years I have been using the red plastic “Titan” winch handles, which last well enough and are much lighter so don’t damage the boat when dropped or wacked against the gelcoat.
