Don't know from experience but I've heard from others that with it being Hardor Freight its just as BAD as the rest of there tools. You may get a few pulls from it but it will break on you in no time. So if you get it DEFIANTLY get the extra warranty. So you can take it back and either get your money back or another winch and do it all over again.

Its simple, WARN, or save your money. Ive got two that have went thru several jeeps and about 10 years of abuse. I would never buy anything else. Ive had to winch out other people with other brand winches that have died before. The 10 k on the mm has been on 6 jeeps, never gave me a minutes trouble.
