Apparently they are manufactured in the Far East but distribution is through Australia. :?: :?: :?:

Further to my last......the replacement winch has now failed in exactly the same way as the first!
Used it in anger for the first time yesterday.......became so hot in a short pull that you couldn't put your hand on my ARB bumper!!
The freewheel unit is now not working & winch vibrates & rattles so much I can't hear the engine! (Identical symptoms to the last winch!)
Apparently I am exasperating the problem by using plasma rope, as the wire rope obviously helps dissipate the heat build up!
Whilst I understand the logic of that.....I'm completely unimpressed!
So....in short! Time to save up & buy a real winch! Two faulty winches is my limit!
T-Max to the back of the truck please!
Roofus!
