🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The reviewed winch generally receives positive feedback for its strength, ease of use, and overall utility in situations like pulling vehicles out of trouble. Users appreciate the winch's performance and durability. However, criticisms focus on the winch's electrical components and installation process. The electrical cables and remotes are described as cheaply made, potentially affecting the long-term reliability of the product. Despite these issues, the winch's solid performance and capable handling of heavy-duty tasks are frequently highlighted.

Pros

  • 👍 Works effectively for heavy-duty pulling tasks
  • 👍 Easy to install and use, according to several users
  • 👍 Responsive customer service for issues like remote replacement
  • 👍 Strong and durable build for challenging environments
  • 👍 Some models come with a synthetic winch rope that spools smoothly

Cons

  • 👎 Electrical components, including power cables and remotes, are of poor quality
  • 👎 Installation can be tricky due to misaligned holes and the need for additional hardware
  • 👎 Lack of clear instructions for installation and operation in some packages
  • 👎 Concerns about the longevity of the winch's electrical parts

Should I Buy It?

If you're in need of a winch for occasional, not overly technical use, and you're prepared to potentially upgrade some of the electrical components, this winch could offer good value. For those reliant on a winch for more critical, frequent use, the concerns around the electrical components might encourage looking at higher-end models. Evaluate your needs and capabilities when considering this product.


  • Good winch!
Model: TANK 12000LB Black
This is a really good winch. Quality parts, very strong and easy to install. My only complaint is the hook that comes with it is too small to attach to very many items commonly used in winch applications. I snapped my rope this week and will be replacing it with a stronger rope and larger hook.

  • Initial review
Model: TANK13500 RED GM
I just installed this and it seemed very straight forward, for me. I have installed a few of these over the years so it was fairly simple to install. The package came intact without any damage to the box or the internal items. All items were there and has a great booklet with decent instructions. I like the design and how it fit into the rig. I will be testing this out in the next few weeks and will come back and update my review. The only question/concern I have is that the wired/wireless controller is one in the same and seems to work great. They sent a battery that I assume is for the controller and the controller is already working wireless....the only question that I have yet to answer is "How do I charge the battery for the controller?". There is nothing in the documentation that speaks to it, if the extra battery is for the controller (logic says yes), how long the battery will last. The concern here is how does one keep the spare battery with you and not lose it and how long will the wireless last? Can you buy spare batteries for the controller? I will try and add some pics shortly. ... show more

  • 12.000 lb winch installation and comments
Model: TANK 12000LB Black
I researched the 12,000 lb winches for completeness of configuration and comments from previous buyers with installation reviews. The winch seems sturdy and well built. The wiring color coated junction covers were a nice touch but i have a suggestion to the manufacturer. I could tell all the parts were there by virtue of taking inventory vs what was shown in the included operation manual but (like every other commenter) could have used some instruction pictures and a company video. The color coded wiring notations was very helpful for a mechanically minded person. If you don’t have a history with tinkering with things, making your own modifications for the lack of comprehensive instructions and no diagrams, plan on taking two hours to install the winch package. The winch could have (should have) been pre-assembled with the wires bolted in-place and the colored junction covers pulled over the wiring junctions. That would have saved an hour just making sure everything was laid out for assembly. It wouldn’t have taken the manufacturer any time to have all of that done. The winch went in easy enough but no way my wife could ever figured out how to assemble the items. Not that she is inept, but that the pieces take time to assemble so they are on the number with no loose or extra length of wires that might slap the grill or make noise on the highway. On another note, the winch hooks does not fit over my ‘U’ hooks on my bumper. Guess i need to buy a couple of 12,000 lb ‘S-hooks’ or a small tow strap with hooks to use a pulley on a tree and another short one to connect the winch hook to the bumper ‘U’s. None of this is a real deterrent but they would have easily gotten 5 stars with a few changes. Or let someone assemble the system and use it in a real situation to eliminate the missing set up add-on items. Now i have to think about how to rig the winch cable out in the woods and hope i bought all the small extras to be able to get my jeep pulled out of a ‘stuck’ saturation in the woods. ... show more

  • Works flawlessly
Model: TANK13500 RED GM
Mounted on a homemade bumper on my jeep grand Cherokee and works really great. I would recommend pulling out the cable all the way when you first get it then keep tension on as you suck it all back in

  • Heavy Duty
Model: TANK 12000LB Black
Didn’t come with installation instructions and online videos show older version. Appears to work well, took longer than expected to install. My after market bumper, I had to remove top bar to install.

  • Worth the money
Model: TANK 12000LB Black
Rugcell needs to start selling with directions. I found the waterproof connectors a pain to install. I don’t care for the hook. It doesn’t open enough to go around a 3/4” d ring and close. If Rugcell made these improves it would get a 4-5 star. It seems to be worth the money. It does look nice.

  • The company doesn’t support after purchase.
Model: TANK 12000LB Black
I don’t usually write reviews, but I’m frustrated. This winch worked great once. Then we got hit with 2 hurricanes. My jeep was totally destroyed but the winch survived, so I put it on my new Jeep, but the remote was lost and you can’t use it without the remote. I’ve been emailing the company four times and no one will respond. So I’ll have to buy a new one and will buy from a different company. ... show more
