On all these winch's coming out of China are most of these coming from the same manufacture with a different sticker ? I've been looking at several winch's so far I leaning towards a Viper Elite. What is the most important thing to look for when buying a winch, horsepower or gear ratio or something else? I see some company's advertise a lot of hp like Smittybuilt with a ton of gear ratio and some with little hp with a ratio of 136 to 1. And I see some that looks like they have a motor and the spool with nothing to the right of the spool I imagine this would be the clutch.
Now I don't know a thing about winch's and have never owned one but when I look at these winch's made in China I see the price going for next to nothing to getting right up there close to a Warn. What I don't want to do is buy a Chinese winch at the upper end of the price structure to find out I could have bought the same winch under a different manufacture for $200 less someplace else. So I hope some of you fine members can set me on the right path, thank you.
