Harbo Freight has "small wenches"? I'll have to check that out...

I like your system.. but I notice your yaks are all the way up to the ceiling. You don't have a roll-up garage door? I realized that I could not hoist my longer hobie Oasis tandem up to the ceiling, because it would not allow the garage door to open. If I had a single unit door that swung outward, then a hoist or high overhead system like yours would work. So, if I did a hoist or your system, but had to limit the height to allow the door to open, then the kayaks are probably at about forehead level, which still kind of blocked a section of usable garage space. I guess you could duck a little and move around, and my wife is short enough that she'd clear. I decided to go a different route, and just make a shelf to stack them.
