I know someone with one. (giggle pin freespool) They have had to replace bits (under warranty) in a manner that suggested giggle pin know its an issue. Plus they are wicked expensive
Toy - Zuk chassis tub, hilux 4.88 axles and transfer, Nissan CA18DE motor and auto trans, sc12 supercharger, 32 10'5 simex, twin motor 8274 custom freespool. Well the parts are all there in various corners of the shed
One nice setup I saw (on a PTO winch IIRC but you could adapt) was using a hydraulic clutch master/slave with a latching lever & spring return. No need for any air, nice & simple, bits from any junkyard. I'll put one on my wagon one day. The bit I liked was that it gives you a 'feel' as the freespool clicks in unlike a pneumatic system.
Not a lot of travel on a clutch slave, for an electric winch I'd have it swing a geared quadrant engaging on a smaller pinion to get enough turn.
