Howdy, it seems Aldi have winches in their shops again today. I have a friend who has just picked one up for me. $399.

Brand is 'Auto TX' apparently they are not re-branded ironman but actually re-branded 'MotoZone' (which I have never seen before)

I have been checking out reviews and people seem to be generally happy with them. I figure, for 400 bucks, 60day return(nqa) and 2year warranty... its not a bad deal.

My mate said they were selling like hot cakes. i'll let you know more when I have one in my hands.
