ACDC - thanks for the promo.
I'm tending not to respond to these questions now, as everyone knows I sell them. My opinion would be seen to be a bit too biased to be any good. Don't want to look like Bill S now, do I?....lol
Besides, we may not be selling them for too much longer - Repco and eBay are killing the market for smaller shops like ours. Once we land them here, insure them, brand them,
test a few, etc... they are just becoming very cost ineffective.
We were one of the first to start selling these things on eBay - back when the Chinese
winches had a bad name. Look where we are at now..... Prices have almost halved, and people are seeing them as a viable alternative to the overpriced units! I mean - if something pulls at 12,000lb, does it really matter what the sticker says?
Our last 4 are on ebay now - we'll see how they go, and make a decision after that.
We'll try importing some other stuff next - i know 4' Aust. Std. Hi-Lift Jacks are overpriced by a good 40% or so....... Might try them next. Just don't know at this stage......
Cheers,
Chump
