I'd like to know what size cordless drill you would need to make this work.

Do you think the torque can be as large as that applied by a winch
handle and someone of normal strength?

On large units, yes. But they'd be more work than the winch handle.

Read "Good old boat" magazine. They had an article on it this month.

Milwaukee 18 volt right angle. # 3109-24. How do I know?
I have been using one on my Freedom 36 (500sf main) for 2 years .
The right angle unit is critical because it give you two lower gears
depending which end you chuck into the motor. My winches are Barient
27's and I get 4 to 6 hoists out of a charge. Can haul 250 lbs. to the
mast head 3 times on one charge. Works slick and is $4000 cheaper than
Harken. Get two batteries and an inverter. I had a machine shop cut
down an old winch handle and insert a shaft, but the ebay item is
cheaper than what it cost me.
