SuperHandy Electric Portable Winch Capstan Hoist Brushless Motor Li-Ion Battery Powered 1000-2000 Max Pulling Force for Forestry Hunting Garden Off-Road (Low Stretch Rope Included)

I've been using the winch to clear branches/trees from a river to allow canoeing, I have a 3.2t Tirfor type cable winch as well but most of the time this is much quicker and more convenient and can be carried in a rucksack. It seems to be made well enough, battery life is OK for me as I am working locally. BTW, although the battery is only 2Ah the high voltage means that is holds more energy than a typical 2Ah drill battery.A few notes/tips on use.It gets hot on long pulls, it is best to pull for a short period and then allow to cool, slow and steady wins the race.Unless you are pulling really light stuff make sure you have 4 turns of rope around the capstan. It helps to pull the turns together on the underside of the capstan when adding the 4th turn as there is only just enough space. The extra turn ensures far more grip.When using it without a pulley learn the loggers hitch, it is a super simple way to attach the rope to a log, very quick and easy to undo, extra loops can be added if you need more grip, see Google.For heavier loads a pulley is really worth it, I bought a 4T snatch block pulley and use that along with an endless strop and shackle to attach to the load. You put the rope through the pulley and attach to an anchor point, that can be with the winch or another anchor if you want to pull it in a alightly different direction. The pully doubles the capacity of the winch and even though it takes twice as long to pull the load it can even be worth it for lighter loads as the current is halved which should reduce the losses in the motor by 4. Battery life goes up and heating goes down.
