they all can work and they can fail - same with quads, trucks, boats, bikes, jetskis, houses, cars, guns, tvs and on and on and on

GET WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH

haha it sounds like all of the winches break they are the same parts and are all made in china just a sticker and maby a different shell on some. I never saw a cheapo break like i saisd if you are worried buy a spare to bring with you and you will stil spend under 200 dollars when one warn is 300 haha its sounds like a no brainer for me.
