Is a Torin 2-Ton Engine Hoist good?

Anyone ever used this brand or have pros and cons? It will be my first engine hoist purchase. Torin Big Red 2-Ton Folding Shop Crane with Free Load Leveler | Engine Hoists + Stands | Northern Tool + Equipment

I noticed you can buy replacement hydraulics for $90 which seems to be a bonus for down the road.

it looks identical to the one I have from HF...mine has worked great, even handled the 1FZ/trans/case in my FZJ80 I've had it for 5-6 years and haven't needed any maintenance.

It looks like all the other Chinese folding cranes. They work. The one I have had for 10 years has finally developed a little leak but I just keep filling it up.

Thanks guys, looks like I'm probably going to pick it up when I get in tomorrow. $250 seems like a great deal. Looked locally for used ones and they were all in the same price range. I'd prefer new for a bit more.
