Hi all, I was in Harbor freight yesterday and saw that they have some pretty good deals on winches. Considerations, contemplations, cogitations here:
They LOOK pretty well built and robust.
Like everything else in H.F. they're "Made in China".
I've read that a lot of the Warn models are now made there, only brand that you can be sure of in the US is now Ramsey.
Warrior advertises that theirs are 'British designed and engineered', but not where they are manufactured (Much like the Triumph brand named motorcycle jacket that boasts "British designed" on the big tag at the collar and whispers "Made in China" on the tiny tag on the inside of the armpit?)
I really don't mind spending some extra $$$ to get something of higher quality and greater value, (don't want a useless lump hanging on my bumper) but wonder whether I won't be paying for a more famous label on something that came from the same production line at the People's Winch factory.
Looking for info, experience, opinions.
Thanks,
Bill Snyder
