just a heads up, on Oct 12,13,14 Harbour Freight is having a very large sale, the reason im letting yall know is, is they have the 12000lb
Badlands winch on sale for $299 it sells usually for around $369,
I know every one has there opinion about Harbour Freight and expecially
there winches, but pick any winch out there and there is a failure rate along with them as well... So with that said i personally would rather
spend $299 than $500-600 on a winch, with the warrenty you can always return it. Duh, so in October i will be giving every one a review on this...
rumor has it that this winch is designed by the same person that produced one other major brand that got discusted with the company and left and designed his own winch, i cant 100% verify that rumor but thats what is
floating around out there

 

HF is the bomb. Lots of fairly priced tools. they usually have a 20% off coupon too.

 

i do buy a fair amount from them, and i do like the life time replacement on the hand tools and such

 

Won't ever buy from them again.

I ordered something from them online and was wondering why they never billed my credit card...the item arrived.....then a few days later somebody charged over $800 at a shoe store there in California.

Wasn't hard to figure out who did it. Some low life in their sales dept..

 

i bought the 8000lb chicago winch like 5 years ago. still using it. i was thinking about getting the 12k but have been waiting for it to go cheeper.

 

I like HF, alot of little goodies priced cheap but certain things I just dont buy from there, like there hand tools(wrenches, screwdrivers, and so on) & some not all power tools..metal and quality seems cheap & I go to home depot out lowes for that,just my opinion..

 

Ive had my 12,000lb badlands winch since june of 2011 and its saved my *** more times than I can think of. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

 

I like Harbor Freight stuff. I have never had an issue with any of their stuff.

 

ok all, the sale is over and i have the winch mounted, ran out of sun light
to finish electrical hook-up, and still need to mount the roller flair head..
i will give a summery of operation and some pics today, so far so good

 

I wanna see it!!
