Thanks for your comments 67cj5, (not sure who you are sorry), I try very hard to be fair, even and unbiased with my comparisons and testing. This winch test was a massive undertaking and could not have been done without the help of a handful of people as per the article.
G'day Mark, I also followed both of your compressor tests and the Fridge shootout all of which are saved in my favourites, "Hope you don't mind" In the later compressor test I ended up buying both of the ARB portables and all their gauges due to your testing and a few video's, In the earlier test you did on compressors it was a real eye opener to see just what some of the cheaper brands are made of and These Winches are no different The winning Winch is known as the Champion/ Now/ Warrior in the EU and North America and I own one,
There have been many tests on winches over the years but non went as far as your make or break testing, I urge people to read the article and watch the video and read between the lines because your test is about as good as it gets when it comes to real world testing to the point where most folks push their winches to the limits, The Runva is a heck of a winch and it comes with all the "free" accessories that are added extras with other brands,
Anyway Mark, Thanks again for taking the time to piece it all together.
