Pros

Great addition to my sso slimline hybrid bumper for my 2016 tacoma. Spooled it up after installation pulling my jeep up a hill. There is a collar with internal splines that holds the hex shank wich drives the gear assembly.

Quality


High quality product, the remote is awesome.


Very sturdy and just great winch would highly recommend


-extreme power and pulling capability-never failed on several pulls.


Use two wrenches tightening the wires on the motor, the posts are brass and i broke one when i used a socket wrench.

Price


The price was very good and affordable to buy.


Great winch and a great price compared to a warn smitybilt came through on this.


Don't think that's right to charge someone full price for a used or refurb item and not disclose that fact.


For the price it is a good fit for my style of use

Shipping


Package arrived early and bolted right up!

Packaging/appearance


I received the box open and after correct installation the winch broke in half!

Competitiveness


Since warn and smittybuilt both have the chinese build their winches i bought this smittybuilt because it was cheaper than the warn.


(smittybilt 12k) practically the same thing as the 10k.
