I was given a Gas powered Winch Simular to the one in the pic. I gottin out of alot of tight places with it. Just wanted to know what ya'll thought about it.

I've seen them. Pretty weak for the price. And I just assume that given that an electric motor has maximum torque at zero rpm and a 2-stroke gas motor has maximum torque at a zillion rpm the electric is better suited for a winch. But I've never used one or heard of anyone that had.
