Tirfor will pretty much drag you out of anything slow but if you have drowned your engine electric winch wouldnt last long before your battery died.

Yes i was thinking about the hand operated version there is a hydraulic version available but i think that requires a mains supply ie 415v 3 phase to run the hydraulic pump guessing that would cost a fortune as well.
A good old hand version is very adaptable and are well tried and tested just needs man power to make it work lol

i think they are fantastic idea to have in the back of the car, (i dont have one yet mind)

they are time consuming and tiering but in a situation where your winch has packed in or just dont have one, they can get you out of very sticky situations,
