Harrington LX Lever Hoist, Hook Mount, 1/4 Ton Capacity, 10' Lift, 8.1 Headroom, 5.9 Lever Length, 0.8 Hook Opening by Harrington

This is pretty much what I needed. The quality seems to be there as far as I can tell. Its much smaller than I thought it would be. Which is a good thing as long as it has the 500# of pull. It also comes with an individual serial numbered load rating certification. I guess in case you need it for industrial use. I may buy a few more since its so compact. Pretty much the size of my fist if you don't include the chain.

Great little lever hoist Harrington is owned Kito. This is the same hoist as the Kito lx series. Can't beat it for the price!!

I was surprised by how small this hoist is. It is amazing that something so small can lift so much weight. The fit and finish is top notch. Just be aware that the hooks are also quite small. I was unable to attach two lifting straps to the hook at the same time. Although, this can be easily resolved with an adapter.

This thing is a life saver in my line of work. I'm a pipefitter in the Petro/Chemical industry. Just know it's not going to lift a lot of weight, I ordered the 1/4ton (500lbs) 10' chain, for extra reach and couldn't be more pleased

I purchased this for use on a boat, since the capacity is rather low for use in my job. Well, I have used it several times for work, sometimes to make a job easier that could be done by hand. If a lifting or positioning job is easier, it is usually safer, too.
