    It's a good bar. Used it twice on my 2003 Impala 3.4L. But I couldn't trust my life to those flimsy chains so went to HDepot for heavier ones. Try to use two attaching points. Live long and prosper.

      I did the same and used heavier chains. Great tool.

      What about the hooks at the bottoms of the threads, they seem small, any issues with those?

      @@Luke-2954 I suppose if it looks like a bad weld, I'd get that redone but they held up my 3.4L. Still, I had a 3-ton jack under it. And a total of six jack stands. It's going to take a very freaky accident to kill me under a car.

    Gotta do an oil pan replacement on my 03 Passat 1.8. Hoping this will work. Costs an extra $5 now tho.

    I built one out of wood that worked fine when I installed a new transaxle in a 1988 Z24. It worked just fine. However, I think I will buy one of these, for safety.

    I wish we had harbour freight in Canada. Or "harbor" as you spell it.
    Anyway, it truly sounds like the promised land... Cheap automotive stuff that seems to work. We don't have that here! We have one automotive store called Canadian Tire and they have a monopoly on everything automotive. Home depot doesn't even carry socket wrenches here so you can't go to them either

    I ended up getting one from Zoro tools for under $150. I'm not a mechanic but figured better safe than sorry. Changing engine mounts tomorrow.

      @FixitBongbong  4 роки тому +2

      I totally agree, when dealing with safety equipment or trusting your life to a tool thats gonna hold up 550lbs+ of steel above your head I'd wanna feel good about it too! So far I've been impressed with the HF engine support. How do you like the Zoro tools product?

      @@FixitBongbong Mine's rated to 1,100 pounds. The bar is very heavy so it's not going to buckle. Engine weighs less than 400 pounds. I had no trouble getting the one engine mount out and very happy with my purchase. Best of all, it's something i can store in the back of the car when i need extra traction on the snow during winter. Doesn't take much room.

    Bolts and chains were cheap, got better bolts from auto zone bc one came cross threaded and I wasn’t taking the chase

  • @Jason-fp7vi
    @Jason-fp7vi 4 роки тому +3

    Also those chains look like the most rinky-dink chinesium crap. I agree with the other commenter that said they got replacement chains at home depot.
    I'm sure home depot chains are also made in China, but hopefully a little more substantial than the ones included in this kit you got

    • @FixitBongbong
      @FixitBongbong  4 роки тому +2

      Honestly I see no problem with the chains as the links are of the same gauge as the hooks that are welded to the threaded rods.. then again it's been a while since I've looked. Ha.. That support bar has been holding up the m50 engine in my e36 for the past 3 months so I will say she's solid!
