    Cody! I have important advice for you. Never store your torque wrenches below the 20% setting. I calibrated torque wrenches for nuclear power plants for 11 years. I got training at the local Snap-On repair facilitie. The reason you do not want to store your wrenches at 0 is, while the spring is loose the pivot, which controls the point the wrench breaks, can the knocked loose and rotate inside the wrench. While they may appear to be a small cube, they are not exactly the same on all sides. That difference can throw off the calibration on your wrench. Always keep some tension on the pivot. The Snap-On repair tech recommends 20%.

The only thing that I have seen with the winch is the decals fading after time. Besides that, it has worked and worked well every time I have needed it. The wireless remote is really nice when I am using it in my trailer application that way I can move around and watch the load while I am in the process of pulling it up.

    I was able to test out the winch after your first video on the Badland. I had to haul a truck for my son down an unknown driveway that was pure ice. Going up a hill, I ended up sliding down backwards and jackknifing the trailer into the ditch. While trying to patiently wait for the receivers of the truck to come up with an idea to get me unstuck, I come up with my own. The winch is mounted on the front of my sons 20' implement trailer. I ran the winch around a nearby tree and hooked to the back corner of the trailer. I didn't have my snatch block with me but had some heavy rubber in the back of my truck I put around the tree to save rope. It pulled the trailer loaded with a fullsize ext cab Chevy truck back onto the driveway with ease. I did get some good praise from my sons for mom always coming up with good ideas. It's good to know this winch makes what my sons do easier with the security that it will do the job. It gets used near daily, not just mounted to look pretty. I'm betting it's been used more since Christmas than most get used during their lifetime.

I watched you stick it to the bumper and thought to myself it would be very easy to lay down the wireless and lose it when it Blends into its environment. Having some sort of colour like the red tab attached to the wireless remote would make sure you would see it no matter where you laid it down, or wherever you stuck it to hang

    @m9 ovich @ Mechanic Mike A common notion but incorrect.Yes dielectric grease as such does not conduct electricity but it doesn't matter. You don't want electricity flowing between gaps in conductors anyway, the grease does not inhibit conduction where metal-to-metal contact occurs. This subject comes up on here from time to time and there are studies you can find which show that using dielectric grease inside a connector does not impede current flow. If the contacts aren't making contact, then you aren't getting current anyway unless it is arcing. You're not "getting away" with anything. If the connection isn't tight then the presence of grease or no grease isn't going to matter

    Hey Cody, just an FYI. Synthetic line weakens over time when exposed to UV light (sunlight). I would suggest that you either make sure the sheath is all the way down to the hook keeping the line covered when not in use, or wrap the first foot of line with some electrical tape to protect it from the sun if you plan to keep the hook stowed on the tow hook. Other option is to just keep it all on the barrel and out of sight.

    I’ve had this winch on for almost a year now and I recommend putting the pull tab on, but instead of using the big loop to hook it use the little one that way you can easily pull the winch out using the tab. Never had a problem with it fraying in the wind. Also the hook will seat flat against the fairlead with a little pressure on it which gives it a super clean look compared to other winches and let’s the pull tab sit higher so it doesn’t get caught driving through brush.

    Hi, I am with you on the manual isolation switch but IMHO you do still need one. I ran an ignition fed HD relay to act as an isolator. The winch only runs when the ignition is on. It is also a safety factor, if you get a problem just switch off the ignition and the winch stops. Cheers Non Stick Nick p.s. you could put an Anderson plug by the winch for jumper leads!

    I speak from experience when I say that you should keep the grab strap on your winch hook or in the vehicle to be used when you grab the hook, because I have ripped my thumb nail out from the cuticle and almost lost my thumb. The cable became double wound and when it was going out it quickly went back in and pinched my thumb against the fairlead. The person that last used said winch hooked it all the way to the far edge of the bumper on the atv, and because it double wound I couldn't pull it out in free spool. Sure, I shouldn't have put my hand there, but we all make mistakes, and sometimes they cost us dearly.
