Beware,if you buy a Hornet you may get stung. Actually,I don't have any idea,but it sure looks cool.

Not sure I can pay $3800 for a cool looking winch...

Definitely won't be buying from there

That is derived from the Warn 8274 design.

It is popular in Europe for winching competitions.
They have winching competitions like we have off road driving competitions.

A couple of comments from one of their forums:

Oh, Amercians can't winch to save thier lives....... One team at Choclate Thunder were painful to watch. 25 minutes to do 3 minutes work.

It could be because their vehicles are so capable, they don't get much winching practice.
