just spotted these. Worth a punt?

This winch has got to be worth a punt for £10??

I got one about 3 years ago for £20 off eBay. I've used it for pulling stumps out. Very limited cable length and the mechanism is fiddly but it works and has saved me a lot of effort.

Thought it looked useful and for £10 didn't think I could go wrong.

I have a couple almost identical. Use them all the time. Fence straining, strapping down loads and pulling over smaller trees.

If it pulls your car out of the ditch even once it's worth £10!

for a tenner go for it!

3 year warranty too, must be worth a go.

Bought one along with some alarmed padlocks on a whim, haven't quite worked out how to pull the cable out yet but hardly looked at it. The padlocks they are doing for 8.99 are worth getting, not the most secure but loud enough when played with

Great winches.

Hook it onto something, flick the springy lever up and pull winch back, it will unravel.

You can't slacken when under tension unless you have fingers like Wolverine.

I've had a £20 version for over 10 years.

You can undo them when right but it's a case of working with both catches on it to let it slowly release cable back out. Slow process but does work.

 

It would be painfully slow trying to winch a vehicle out with 6-8' of cable reach at a time.
