Tried Aldi? I remember they had a winch in a catalogue couple months back.
I just done a quick google search and found these links. Maybe someone on this forum may be able to help.
Anyone know anything about the I-Force winches - Patrol 4x4 - Nissan Patrol Forum
cheap as chips winch - Patrol 4x4 - Nissan Patrol Forum

Thanks nath! had a look through it and like all forum topics, it goes off on a tangent. couldnt find anything really on the iforce winch itself, just the whole "cheap" winch debate.
Thanks heaps for the input though!

They're probably from the same factory as all the others. Cheap, and if they work that's great - if they don't, it's a bummer so try a hammer to coax it into operation.
I have an Aldi winch on mine - can't fault it. It's 9.500lb though (4.3T) - our weight when towing is greater, so I could be in trouble there.
I don't think I'll buy this one though. Check their advertising blurb, quoted from their eBay listing:
Now I don't know about you guys, but I didn't put a winch on my car in case I got stuck on the bloody road - it's for when I'm OFF the road! Gotta love people that don't re-read their adverts.

Haha at the blurb statement
As for how much work it's done - I've needed it 3 times, it's worked for me 3 times.
I really should run it out and oil it and wind it tightly onto the drum again - I might just do that tomorrow to make sure it's all still okay.

Is yours not rope?
Mine's wire. Aldi doesn't do winches with rope. I've had no dramas with steel yet.
The winches Aldi have on sale this week are the same as before - 4300Kg (9500lb), but now they include a cut-off switch. I had to separately purchase a 500A switch in to stop the little arseholes from winding out my hook, attaching it to my tow hitch then inserting a paper clip into the control box to introduce my tail lights to my headlights.
