ATD Tools 7441 Underhoist Stand - 3/4 Ton Capacity

I purchased to of these for use in my home shop. The finish is nice, but the fitment was terrible. The stands fit together such that the base of the unit and the vertical shaft are two separate pieces. The vertical shaft is hollow and slides down over a nub or nipple on the base. There is a horizontal hole through both the base and she shaft which a bolt (supplied) is inserted to lock the two pieces together. Unfortunately, the outer diameter of the nub/nipple is not large enough to fit snuggly into the shaft, thus the shaft can rock back and forth. It's actually a joke how bad the fitment is, it's not even close. This is extremely unsafe, and should never be acceptable during the manufacturing process. I thought if I tightened the bolt enough, it would collapse the shaft enough to eliminate the rocking/wobbling. However, once I tried this, I ended up stripping the threads out of the weak grade bolt. I would have sent them back, but needed them for a time sensitive project. I ended up installing a Grade 8 bolt and nut, and welded the shaft to the base to prevent the unit from moving. They have worked fine for me since. I would imagine those that are purchasing these types of items would have the means to fix them, but it shouldn't be a requirement. I should have known the price was too good to be true.

MAY CAN SUPPORT 1.5 TON BUT HEAD IS CAST NOT SOLID STEEL. WILL SPLIT IF LOAD NOT 100% DEAD MIDDLE VERY DANGEROUS ITEM. REST OF SUPPORT SEEMED O.K. DEFINATELY NEED BETTER HEAD......

Looks great. Good quality. Smooth. Love the pads it comes with. Easy to assemble.

This is a great pole jack. Excellent value. Even has a removeable rubber pad up top so you don't have to use a block of wood in between when supporting things like an aluminum engine oil pan. Will definitely buy an additional one if needed!!

This is the second one of this hoist that I bought.I have used to hold trans up and set rear suspension preload on a porsche 356 with no problems.I would recommend.Good priceGood product

Excellent tool for any shop using a lift. It's like having an extra set of hands! Arrived fast, and we had it up and working in a matter of minutes! -Jim/Peachtree Auto Sales
