Harbor Freight - Gems and Junk

I've had one of the 1/2" Earthquake air ratchets in the garage for years and it has been through hell and back. It has removed thousands of wheels, u-bolts, you name it. It gets used hard every day.

I also have one of their 10,000 Pound Winches on the front of my truck, and one of the 12,000 pound Winches on the back of the truck.

I've beat that poor 10k winch, exceeded the weight rating by at least 6,000 pounds, bounced heavy objects off of it (I've had engines slam into it, bounce off and not hurt it), ran it for extremely long periods of time without letting it cool down. It just won't die. It's not the fastest winch in the world, but it is reliable.
