Customer Reviews for VEVOR 550LBS Manual Lever Chain Hoist, 1/4 Ton 5FT G80 Mini Come Along Ratchet Puller Hoist with Hook for Warehouse Building Automotive Machinery

I bought this because the other color hoist broke after about 6-8 uses.... I took it apart to see what broke.... It was junk under the case.....

perfect size easy to use and works great.

This is one of those tools that when you use it you won't be without one.

Great product love it!!

I bought this primarily for building handrail, it works great for plumbing posts and holding them steady until you can tack a rail in place. However, with it's half ton rating I feel confident using it to rig light loads when installing equipment like motors as well.--UPDATE--I've had it for 2 months now and have have probably used it almost every day at work. As stated earlier, I primarily got it for fabbing handrails but it has proven to be very useful for installing conveyors and their components. I'm still very pleased with it, however I do have one complaint. It does not free-spin well in neutral or the down position. This can be a nuisance when trying to introduce slack in the line since you have to crank and crank on it. It be an adjustment issue or maybe a defect, I don't know. It free-spins perfectly when removing slack though, and hasn't failed under load, so it's still a very useful tool.

It is free spin

Gotta admit strange to write this but the heavy duty bag it comes with just ices the cake. I got two but (full disclosure we use a ton of these) to hoist out 600lb compressors in HVAC/R. All the guys get these they are a common hoisting tool in our trucks. One lifts the compressor the other pulls it out of the frame of the unit. 100 hp electric motor / pumps repairs / replacements. Great for auto mechanics / welders etc.

Great product and just as described. A++++++ Arrived in good condition and on time!

I have no idea how I went 25 years in south/truck repair, without this. Sturdy

I purchased this to help remove a large generator out of the back of my F350. I installed a large eye lag screw to a support beam in my garage. Backed up under it and used this chain hoist to remove a close to 250 lb. generator. It worked great. No problems lifting or dropping the generator with this chain hoist. I would highly recommend it. Mine was rated for 1/2 Ton.
