Does anyone have any info reguarding the Viper and venom winches. Are they worth the cheap price or should i just go for the Warn????

.......never heard of em'........but I'd guess if you pay a cheap price, you'll get a cheap winch........and when you really need a winch......you're stuck in the middle of nowhere......the extra bucks you paid for a Warn or Ramsey are going to be worth every penny.

 

the poster above has no idea, i seen warn winches fail in the same places my 50 dollar special winch didn't its hit or miss when they will fail, mine has been going strong 2 years, and has seen everything from snow to being underwater and being used

 

...........moose........L'bill's right...........and I once saw a man in Reno make 43 passes on a craps table........
You might get that $50 special that will do just fine.........but when I used to skydive, I prefered the man packing my chute to be good rather than lucky............

 

I'd agree w/Hollywood330..i have a warn winch on our magnum 325 and it hasnt had any problems yet and we got it on our quad in 02 so i'd say there totally worth every penny as well[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I say go for it. Buy One. Why not if it fails you're only out 100 bucks. You can buy 3 more and still not pay what a Warn cost.

 

wow will u die if your winch breaks? i highly doubht it so your example is pointless were talking winches here, not life saving equipment

 

 

........"we're talking winches here.......not life saving equipment"..........
Your right......most of the time............but with a $50 winch, you'd better be right.... ALL the time......
Good luck.

 

if I were you I'd go with a warn winch we have one on the kodiak since it was new and its a 1993 and it never broke and never let us down its a warn 2.5 tonne I believe [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] why waste money on a crap winch when you can buy a good one for not very much more and it'll save you a walk back to the truck
