Hey guys im looking for a hand winch as a bit of backup for my Mq patrol just in case it gets stuck! prob looking at about the $300 to $400 mark.. anyone got any experience with any good/bad?
Here's a couple if found so far
Magnum Hand winch
PWB Anchor hand winch
Terrain Tamer Hand winch
Anyone got any of these?
Thanks Craig

My tirfor is at least 15 years old now .. it has not be seriously abused but it has had a hard life and when used has been pushed to the limits (busted the shear pins a few times) .. work out a way to reduce the load .. replace the shear pin and away you go again ...

I would say a second hand Tirfor would be a better buy. I have had one but sold it when i got a electric winch. The thing is most hand winches would not have been used very often as they are f&*king hard work.
