Red Rabbit Report post Posted March 25, 2010 I think all "wenches" are used in some degree or fashion. The difficult part will be finding a used wench that still has some natural lustre and shine, and is cheap as most wenches have a high associated cost.

My Rights As An American Report post Posted March 26, 2010 Besides, a heavily used wench may not be worth wasting any money on. What you need is a fresh wench, something that has not had to pull too much weight, has not been overly used and can take a good licking and keep on going.

gauchoand Report post Posted March 26, 2010 I saw a bunch of wenches real cheap on eharmony.com the other day. But remember all a winch is gonna do is help you get out of somewhere you were never supposed to be. I had a wich on my dodge pictured in my avatar and i can honestly say that i never got closed to using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted March 26, 2010 And if it's a good shiny wench and you show it off for all to see, some one is likely to steal it. So, find a capable wench without all the showy bling that will be reliable and be around for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cactusjack Report post Posted April 24, 2010 not to throw sand in your eye, but if I were in the market for a winch I wouldn't put any money into one that wouldn't be dependable. Cheap can be very costly. If I were unable to spend the cash required for a quality winch I'd look into a Hi-Lift Jack, some chain, and maybe some come-alongs. Those will get you out of most any bind you could get into. Just sayin. Good luck and good wheeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
