Not sure about the extended on the winch, but if it's anything like the extended plans on their power tools, it's well worth it :)
My guys have gone through a bunch of jacks, sanders, drills, air tools, etc., etc. and their policy is simply throw it behind the counter and give us a new one, no...
Not gunna lie, if I was in the market for a new winch, I'd probably go this route :cool:
Been more than happy with my EP9.0 and Husky 10, but they're not easy to find nowadays
