Cheap winch finally gets a test

Bought a cheap 4500lb winch a couple of years ago for emergency use when out solo. Had a few days in Wales last week and thought it best to give it a try. It is never going to pull you out of sill deep mud, but for light use, don't see it being an issue.

That's like the Colin Chapman of winches then, simplified and with additional lightness.

That looks similar to the one I'm using on my Jimny. So far it's always got me out.

Never used a winch before, so didn't know what to expect, but got the opportunity to double line if a bit more grunt needed. Think it should be OK for what I do.
