Only the military that don't know much about winches...trust me I'm in the military and we use nothing but warns for serious stuff. I'm not saying that NONE of the military use it, because I'm sure some do...that's not saying that it's a good winch. You'll get what you pay for. _____________________ HomeBrewer 76-81-85CJ7 http://85cj7.blogspot.com/ http://85cj7.webhop.net/ |

They are not using, nor are many people using, the Chinese-built electric winch that Milemarker only sticks their name on.

Just wanted to know is if someone out there in cyber land has bought or used
one of these winches. I called Milemarker today and yes Jerry, they are built in China, but they are designed and engineered here in the US. Milemarker also stated they are a big seller over in Europe and the Spanish military uses them. They decided to try the US since they are not a well known name and decided to sell them for 4 bills instead of the retail price of 71/2 bills. -Joe "Jerry Bransford" > wrote in message news:W9%Ed.992$_d4.343@fed1read05... > zipdog wrote: > > built by the chinese, used by the US Military. > > No, you've got your facts wrong.

Bull**** on them being "designed and manufacturered" in the US. Totally.

I'm on Camp Pendleton and MCAS Mira Mar once in a while and I've sure
seen non-Milemarker winches on some of their trucks.
