So now I am a bit wary of buying a winch with dyneema fitted. What is more dangerous: having a broken winch cable slashing through the air, or having a rope break of at the winch and finding yourself slipping backwards down a hill?

Yeah always had a problem with the old crimp fitting and rivet. Pretty piss poor way of securing the rope / cable but definatly rope has more potential to spin on the drum and break free. Our work low mount with warn xd9000 was always a candidate for this even with red tape fitted to last couple of wraps to try and stop people pulling out too much. I welded a little tag to the drum with a hole big enough to put rope through with a figure 8 knot on the end similar to a high mount which rope is secured by knot inside drum. Can pretty much winch from no wraps and would trust it, had to which out with it the other day pulled out all the way with no wraps whatsoever and all good. Rope has so many benefits over cable and has been well proven over the years unfortunately low mount fittings are piss poor but easy fix, no brainer i reckon. .

Might do that on the Aldi one if I ever fit it to the rear of the Old Trol.

@mudnut, Craig, I found this today, looks interesting and appears to work by locking the rope on itself, then still using the drum screw, however the drum screw does not take any load. I have ordered 3 and will fit them to my winches and see how they go.
