Default Tuff Stuff Winches

Has anybody heard of these?

Found them on e-bay

I want to get a winch and Class III Cradle so i can use it on the F-250 and the Rubicon.

Looking for big power for as little cash as possible.

I've heard of Tough Stuff, which is trademarked. They made the winch line safety thimble and the Hi-lift hood mount for my Jeep. To me, a different spelling of the same name is a red flag.

I would suggest going with a brand you have heard of. You get what you pay for.

Thanks,

I had forgotten about that.

I was interested in the versatility but with such a low rating it would likely not be very useful in the most critical situations.
