Winches: China vs USA made - 23/03/07 05:45 AM
I hear about a lot of people buying Milemarker (=Harbor Freight), Champion and T-Max winches which are made in China.
I, for one, can't see paying just as much for a "Made in China" winch as an American-made one. Both Ramsey and Warn offer "Economy" models which are competitive with the foreign-made ones.

Sometimes it is almost impossible to find American-made products that are price-competitive. In the case of winches I think we have some good options.
