yeah man, good call on them looking wayy similar, but they are far from a clone/knockoff. My buddy got one last summer and they’re pretty straight. It worked the same as other winches I'd been pulled behind so I can't say much against them. I’d say they’re a bit over-engineered though, like the parts are made from stainless steel instead of aluminum/plastic. As for the price, it says on their website that they use another company to make their parts, so I’m assuming that that’s probably the reason for the slashed price. Otherwise, I think most of the mechanical parts for commercial winches come from go-kart part suppliers. That’s just my guess.
I'm sure most winch companies just eat a bowl of alphabet soup and crap out their names...
Hope this helps bruh _________________ I can't believe your a pro, i'm waaayyy better than you! -G.N.A.R the movie |

some of use use clones not because we have to but it saves the customer on average $400 per build, if someone wants one of my winches with a name brand engine what do I care? it just adds to the price _________________ ☆PHOENIX WINCH☆
