Portable electric winch ??

[nesta]

Hi Eveyone,
I have heard that there is such a thing as a portable electric winch that you store in the back with your gear and set up when needed running of 12V lead.
Does any one have any knowledge of these, if they exist and if they are any good.
Perhaps they are designed for other purpose & not rated high enough for vehicle recovery.

I realise this is not ideal in all situations but I'm looking for an alternative to hand winching without any installation work.
Im not planning to get stuck - But I want to have some peice of mind if Im the only vehicle.
Hope you can help.
Damien

Thanks Mr Rudd,
I had seen most of the winch forum threads but none really answered my question.
I'll google around a bit. I was hoping someone had used one.
Cheers.
