The Harken B10HOT Carbo® OneTouch® is a lightweight, fast-acting ball bearing locking winch handle engineered for both performance racing and confident cruising. Built from the same high-strength, fiber-reinforced composite as Harken's Carbo block line, this 9.5" handle delivers a winning combination of low weight and structural rigidity that stands up to the demands of saltwater sailing.
The patented OneTouch locking mechanism allows effortless single-handed insertion and removal — simply squeeze anywhere along the full-length ergonomic grab bar to unlock, and release it for a positive, secure lock in the winch. No fumbling, no thumb switches, no two-handed operation required.
Harken's SpeedGrip technology sets this handle apart: an independent swivel between the ball bearing knob and the hand grip keeps wrists and arms in the optimal power position for any load level — palm the grip for lightning-fast low-load trimming, or go two-handed for maximum grinding power when sheets are loaded up.
Key Features:
- OneTouch patented locking system — one-handed lock/release using the full-length grab bar
- SpeedGrip technology — independent ball bearing swivel between knob and grip for efficient power transfer at all load levels
- Carbo composite construction — high-strength, fiber-reinforced composite body; cross-ribbed and braced for enhanced stiffness

- 316 marine-grade stainless steel locking pins for corrosion resistance
- Hardcoat-anodized aluminum octagonal drive socket integrated into the one-piece molded structure
- Forged aluminum handle insert mated to aluminum grip rod to manage bending stresses
- Weighs just 590 g (20.8 oz) — strong and lightweight

Whether you're a competitive racer demanding speed and reliability on every tack, or a cruiser who wants a handle that stays put when you need it and releases instantly when you don't, the Harken B10HOT Carbo OneTouch delivers professional-grade performance in a durable, lightweight package.
