Pulled my Jeep out of a sticky situation right out of the box. I was stuck against a fence on the side of a steep, snowy hill so I winched from a tree stump at the top with no trouble at all. Great product!

Excellent the best winch for the prize

This winch is well worth the money and it never fails me, I can load anything anywhere, if I get stuck I can tether it to a tree a pull myself out, I buy cars at auction and it has successfully loaded everything I have thrown at it, I use a remote deep cycle battery I set up for use in the field and the battery will fail long before the winch ever will, Its portable are versatile and is an all inclusive kit self contained in a weather resistant box.

Works perfectly, but the plastic box it is in is weak. I put it in a steel tool box and now it works awesome. Too bad they don't let you purchase another case if the original breaks.

It's important to read the directions and to pull the line out and then let the winch pull it in with at least 100 lb. load on. I skipped this step and the cable bunched up and bent itself. Other than that, this is a very powerful winch. I hooked it to my F-250 diesel and pulled a tree stump out about 10". I did some digging around it and cut the roots I could see with a seawall and this ripped it out like it wasn't even there. Being in the landscaping industry I will find a lot of uses for this.
