Default low profile winch question

Who makes the smallest winch?
BOOMTOWN winches looks pretty small. But can't finish dimensions online.

Any help would be great

Smallest one I know of is the mini Warn 9.5cti winch by RC4WD. Likely it's just another rebranded as a Warn, sure.
I've got one on order, so I can't vouch for it's performance yet. But I believe it has the same motor as the standard size 9.5cti, and I haven't run into issues yet with the 9.5cti I have.

Length: 1.05in / 26.63mm
Width: 2.67in / 67.85mm
Height: 1.17in / 29.83mm
Weight: 1.79oz / 50.7g

we talking scale winches for exterior bumper mount?

you could always hide a servo winch if you are worried about size. i'm doing that and putting a fairlead behind a license plate of my tribute F-150, that way it retains the appearance of my pop's winchless 1:1, but still has the ability to winch itself out of a jam if i need it.

just something to consider.
