bought mine in late 04-early 05. mine is red in color however. has worked good but after having it less than a yrs the cylinder has rusted where it goes into the ram, and this has never spent a night uncovered or in the rain. this was always under my car port. this is the first time I have seen a hydralic cylinder aka ram rust and i have worked around hydralics all my life.

Lets loads drop slowly but is VERY useful for the price, folds up and gets out of the way sort of. Strap the folded up legs with a bungee or they will swing out a little and throw you off balance and might hit you in the head. The white steel jacking pipe falls out of the holder. And the whole thing is hard to balance when folded and rolling over rough or uneven surfaces. But overall good buy. I have had mine for 4 years and lifted motorcycles, engines, etc. Don't try to pull a stump with it though, it will bend the legs.

I agree with the first reviewer. I have owned it for ~2 yrs and have pulled/installed 3 engines and moved around heavy equipment with it and it works well every time.

Used it for years, no problems whatsoever. Does everything I ask
