Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This takes up no more space than a less powerful winch, and gives you more grunt for the buck! Carry better quality straps and pulley, and you can do more with less strain. Overkill is good when it has really hit the fan and you are in deep...trouble. DO MAINTAIN the cable, pull it out to clean and lube it as necessary or as routine care. The military does something that most people wouldn't think of. We did this in Korea 72-74 in a mobile Forward Air Control unit, and it makes sense! We had lots of off-road Deuce-and a-half''s and jeeps. Pull out the entire length of cable, and spray-paint the last 4 or 5 wraps of cable on the drum with bright red paint! This will warn you to not unwind that last bit of cable and strain the attachment to the drum.
