The Winch Handle is an item that is used to raise up the bucket from the Well in Granny.

Appearance

The Winch Handle has a rectangular base made of brown wood. It has a handle made of wood too, however it is in a shade of a tan color. The Winch Handle seems to be really old, judging by the marks all over the wood and its general appearance.

Use

The Winch Handle's main use is to raise the bucket up from the Well, so the Player can collect the item that sits in it. Although cranking the Well's axis creates moderate noise, it doesn't alert Granny.

Spawning

The spawn location of the Winch Handle corresponds to the game's preset.

Trivia
