If and that's a big fooking if! It didn't fall apart pulling 5t then yu can be sure that their isn't a man alive that could get enough leverage on that handle to pull 5tonnes. Maybe a 5t vehicle on level firm ground with little rolling resistance, but that's it.. Complete waste of money and only about 3ft of pull before you'd need to reset everything.

Wait until you are stuck in **** miles from help and having to dig and hand winch. What a fokin job, I was so fooked I had to go home, took me about an hour to get the mud off the landie and out the waffle boards and tools.

Help mah bob, swap yur wife for one or sumat, I tried that but got offered a couple of baldy tyres.
