So I've had this Hoist for a minute and am finally able to give a long term review. First, it's by far the best value on the market, so buying it was a no-brainer. This thing is a real work horse. I've used this thing far more than I ever thought I would. One of those things that you didn't realize you needed so bad until you bought it. Sooooo much easier than using that come-a-long. It really is a snap to use. My only disappointment is that the chains rusted and rusted badly and very quick. We work hard so we worked it hard so I guess the salty sweat was to much for it which is a shame. We've started using gloves to avoid some of the rust but it still gets on the gloves and our shirts. That's the only drawback but kind of an aggravating one. Will post another review on down the line when we've had it longer.
