I looked into them recently when I was researching winches. Seems like they have some decent specs, but I'm pretty confident they're just rebranded Chinese winches you see with other branding like the Rugcel Tank, etc. That's not a knock as pretty much all winches are now made in China by only a few factories, I decided on the Harbor Freight Badland Apex winch as it just has way more reviews that made me feel better about spending the same amount of money.

I wish someone would make a fake winch. I don't need one but my bumper has a nice place to put one.

How much does that HF winch weigh?

How much does that HF winch weigh?

If I remember right it was like 80lbs with the synthetic line.
