    Great Tool!This leveler works as it should with ease. I used this to take out a 5.4L Engine. It is heavy duty and quality made. Using the swivel handle was easy even with all the weight of the engine on it thanks to the bearings put in place at each end of the shaft. The chains were long enough for your typical V8 engine.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the Harbor Freight load leveler, buy this one instead
    Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this after mistakenly buying and using a Harbor Freight load leveler. I tried to get by with that one, but the beam flexed and the roller slipped off the track. I threw that thing away since buying this one was cheaper than a visit to the emergency room. The only drawback is that it has a relatively short span of travel compared to the Harbor Freight load leveler, but that's nitpicking and it's really not a big deal for my purposes. It works absolutely beautifully - easy to turn the jackscrew, smooth movement, super sturdy, and nothing flexes or binds. Well worth buying if you're changing engines - you can balance the engine well enough to slide the transmission on and then re-balance it (almost) to drop the engine and trans into the car together.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This tool is an absolute must for engine removals
    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Replaced a 2.9 the six Ford engine in a 1990 Bronco II.

    This load leveler was absolutely critical in getting the engine out and back in without any extraordinary or heroic moves.

    I am happy to say that the use of this device saved all of our digits and perhaps an arm or two.

    The quality of the tool is top notch and I will hang it on my shop wall for use at a later date. It is likely this will be a much later date because it’s not every day that you’re replacing engines in your car. But you really do need the load leveler if you’re going to do the shade tree mechanic thing as I did.

    I save money by borrowing my neighbors engine hoist. I was going to try and extract the engine using the front and loader on my tractor but there wasn’t enough overhead room.

    The only complaint I have is that the chains need to be a little bit longer so that you can adjust how they reach around the engine to find the perfect lift spot.

    I cannot say definitively that the use of this load leveler will increase my gas mileage on my new engine or even make me a better human being. But it did make the job much easier.

    So there’s that.

    This is a nice heavy duty system that is super simple to operate. The leveling feature is solid and works extremely well. The ability to easily tilt the motor more/less made getting the engine out very easy and required less effort than previous jobs where we had to adjust chains, swap the mounting bolt locations, or pushing the engine up and down to find the right angle. It's amazing how something so minor can make a job much easier and this engine load leveler did just that.

    I pulled a Nissan 2.0L with this and it did great. Had the engine hanging for goodness knows how long, probably 2 months, getting stuck on things or not having time to work on it.

    I've seen reviews on some levelers where people complain about the threaded rod bending. I did not have this problem. No problems at all.

    That said, my engine weighs about 300 lbs. So I'd like to see how it works with a Chevy small block v8 or something a little heavier. For the price you can't beat it though, and I bet it would hold up to a heavier engine

    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    OTC is the same brand of lifting devices we use in a federal maintenance shop, so I knew this would be a quality product. I'm responsible for the semi-annual and annual inspection of all our lifting devices. The chains are held on with clevises, so you can swap them out for your own setup without the mounting plates which is nice. The mounting plates have holes in both ends, so it can be attached to intake manifold bolts, or the heads. The three adjustment holes are also excellent. The lifting eye is small enough to fit onto any engine hoist hook, something I was worried about. The tilting handle rotates very smoothly. Overall its a solid product, I'd have no problem using it at work or at home.

    Update: Used this to install a 400 SBC and TH350 bolted together into a 1971 GMC pickup truck. Had no issues.

    I was disappointed to find the handle ripped through the box and the chains carved a large hole into the fresh new "OTC" decal must of happened during transit. Aside from the threaded rod appearing to be made of a grade 5 material ( I could be wrong) with a cheap zinc coating the rest looked impressive. It actually had caged ball berings at the end of each shaft collar and all of the pins were perfectly centered. The roller on the bottom of the beam does not have berings might be a good thing considering a guy posted he lifted a 1200 pound 59 Cummins with it. All of the wear surfaces were generously coated with sylicone grease and the welds appeared well manicured. All in all impressed with the Chinese manufacturing process would of paid more for a tool steel ARP bolt quality thread.

    Works flawlessly. Saves so much time and hassle while getting everything hooked up. I only advise, if you use the long sides of the engine mount tabs ( utilizing the threaded holes in the front and back of the heads) cut the short side of the tabs off on the two you bolt to the back side of the heads so you dont scratch your firewall up. If you use the short sides on top of the heads or thru the manifold, no worries at all.
