I bought mine at least 15 years ago. It has done all that I have asked it to do and then some. I wish I had bought two of them cuz sometimes you want to push in two directions at once.I think a pullback ram would be a nice addition to this small set.I am not a professional bodyman,but I usually have a project in the shop. I have gotten my moneys-worth out of this set many times over..

I bought this kit to repair a rolled over Mazda B3000 pickup. Did a great job of staightening the pickup box well enough where I could get back to shape with some minor dinging and filler work.

Bought on sale a couple months ago. With all the attachments it fit everywhere I needed it to and had plenty of power. The puller ram is a great companion piece to this set.

I had to drop a transmission to replace a freeze plug on the rear of the engine. The rear support for the transmission wouldn't fit back in between the frame rails on reassembly. I needed something with way more power and grip than a pry bar to spread the frame rails. I bought this because it was a better value than renting porta power.

The threads for the base flange on the slave cylinder were so rough that the base flange would only screw on three turns. Luckily, I was able to accomplish my task without the flanges. In addition, I had to pop out the retention clips on the male end of the extensions in order to get them together.

Upon return to the store I had a choice of refund or exchange. I exchanged for a set that I inspected before leaving the store. I wanted to be sure that the base flange would screw on all of the way. These threads were also rough. You could chew up your finger rubbing it on the threads. However, I was able to thread the base flange on all of the way and back off with some extra effort.

I wouldn't reccommend this for a shop where it might get a lot of use. I doubt that it would endure the abuse of multiple persons tossing it around carelessly. For a DIYer or someone that will only use it once or twice a year it will probably get you by for quite a few years.
