I got one of the ebay winch and it was great!! even used it to lift my trailer when we had a little drama.
I stuffed up though and got an ugly yellow remote....that was hardwired to the winch....it stopped winding in(probably too much water) so I`m getting an auto sparky mate to look at it.....soon.
