Hi all,

As of yesterday, ALDI have a special going on 2400kg rated hand winches. These are the same as the Big Haul, Mean Green "flying eagle's mouth" brand chinese knock-offs.

Winch, cable and case $299!

Bought one this morning. Looks the goods.

I bought another kit that has tree protector, rated pulley block, winch extension strap, gloves and rated shackle for another $99.

CHEAP!

Thay have compressors and some other goodies too.

It looks the same as the ARB Magnum - label even looks the same from the pic.. They sell theors for $395 retail so it's a good saving.

Just pulled it all out of the box and had a fiddle. Looks as well made as any of the others. All of the galvanising is very good, the cast components have all been made well and rough extremities have been ground smooth.

I am chuffed. This feeling will last until I have to use it I think.

Pulled the snatch block and the other bits out, all good. Confusimicated myself and this pack doesn't have a shackle in it, but all the same it represents damn good value.
