Performance Tool W41034 1/2 Ton (1,000 lbs.) Capacity Universal Engine Lift Plate , Gold

AS expected

THin , but works

Nothing

Welds were incredibly poor. One in the center was not joining the 2 plates together. Did not come in any packaging,with no information such as standards that it has met.

This leveler is a lot smaller than I had imagined but it definitely works and it will fit nicely in the toolbox instead of floating around the shop and possibly walking away. The included image shows the leveler supporting an entire Jeep Wrangler drivetrain (Pentastar 3.6L V6, aluminum everything). I'd estimate the motor at 400-500 lbs, about 250 for the transmission, and 75 for the t-case. Under full load the hand crank worked flawlessly until the chain reached such an angle that the handle would bottom out on it. Zipped the handle off and was actually able to spin the shaft by hand for most of it's length and then with a 21mm wrench. I only used one of the included chains but it held up just fine and even at a sharp angle there was no deformation of the end bracket. Very impressed with the performance of this little tool.For those who are curious, the JK and JKU wrangler frames have a tendency to diamond when impacted on either end of a frame rail. They just don't pull back so they get replaced more often than you'd think. A lot of chain body shops just don't understand this and instead attempt to repair them. I've replaced three that have been "repaired" by other shops. If you're buying a used one and feel a significant driveline vibration check to make sure the body bolts are vertical. If one side's bolts are angled (forward or back) that frame is done for.

The media could not be loaded.  Works perfectly as described also bolts to the valley / knock sensor cover on all LS motors.

Sorry no pictures.

works great

Horrible machining. Bolt holes do not line up, incomplete hardware (or incorrect quantities) sent. Trying to get the front wheels on required you to have fingers that could stretch, why they didn't have a threaded plate to bolt into is beyond me. Assembly has been a nightmare and it isn't over yet. Horrible.

I had to buy one to get my 390 fe engine out of my 1973 ford (high boy) and put a 360 in to it, but as you can see it is bending a little but still works for now.

Works good for pulling engines especially in the van chassis where room becomes an issue

Lifting a 351 Windsor the thing is a godsend. Solid plate and fits perfectly.

I used it to lift a V8 engine and transmission out of a vehicle. The many bolt holes allow varied use and this is the only one I found that will work with a 2 barrel manifold.
