Cheap Off-Road Products Test: Will the Cheapest Winch Unstuck Our Truck?

TLDRWe test the cheapest winch we could find on wish.com to see if it can successfully pull our truck out of a sticky situation. Along with the winch, we also test other cheap off-road products, including traction boards, an air compressor, a slope for tilt meter, and a portable shower and toilet.

Key insights

🎣The cheapest winch we bought from wish.com was a Wrench Cell 12,000 pound electric winch with synthetic rope. It cost us $322.89 and came with two wireless remotes. Despite its low price, it performed surprisingly well.

💩The traction boards we purchased from wish.com turned out to be four remote control cars instead. They were cute but not suitable for the intended purpose.

💨The portable air compressor we bought from wish.com worked well for filling up tires. It was relatively quiet and filled a truck tire from 10 PSI to 29 PSI in about 8 minutes and 36 seconds.

📏The slope for tilt meter we purchased from wish.com was not as useful as expected. It had a rubber brick on it and was not very accurate or reliable for measuring slopes or angles.

🚽The portable car toilet we purchased from wish.com turned out to be of poor quality. It was not sturdy and had issues with water flow, making it unusable.
