My China made engine hoist just took a crap. Word to the wise . . . pay the extra few bucks and buy a decent engine hoist, there's a REASON the China trash is cheaper.
explain?? my hoist is home made would so tubing, I use a bottle jack as the "ram" considering I have less than $40 into, works like a charm. I just wish I put better casters on it.
I bought a 8 ton ram for $30 bucks
after 10 years of service my cheap chinese hoist took a crap also but ten years of good service well worth the 30 bucks for another 10 years worth every penny
