Ever since Harbor Freight released their new APEX Badlands winch ive been wondering if it was any better than their previous models. Ive had alot of you ask me my opinions on it, and i figured it was time to try one out!
I will start off by saying im a big fan on Warn winches.. Ive ran a handful of different winches on my jeeps throughout the years and ive had the best luck with Warn. However, that does not mean that im not open to trying out a new product.

The Apex caught my eye... Not only is it a good looking winch, but it appears to have some very impressive specs.
12,000Lb capacity, 31.5 FPM line speed, Synthetic line (which i always recommend), hardened steel planetary gears (pretty common), a wireless remote option (along with a cord), a very unique oversized hook, and a better brake system than the prior badland winches.

In this video, we take a look at this winch and do a few tests. We will test it out on the trails soon, and put it up to some real life tests, as well as see how long it lasts!

So far, it seems like a great option for those that want a well built winch at a fair price.

Here are some links to other winches, and some winching accessories.
