Long chain needs to be kept knot free when in use.
I like the long chain, it can be cumbersome at times but nice to have when you need it. The internal workings of the chain hoist I received don't seem to be that well built but if not abused I think it will be just fine.
I'm using this for my garage to bring heavy things to the garage attic. It carries everything I throw at it and if easy to use - saved me from falling off of a ladder more than once
This thing works like a champ. Quick and easy to set up, light weight and stores away in any cabinet. It comes with its own storage case. Love this little unit.
Working as a mechanic in the oilfield I have used this several times changing universal joints and getting the correct angle when installing heavier parts. Takes everything I can throw at it. Would certainly reccomend.
