I was going to pull the trigger on one last week but held off. Thanks for the info. Good long time friend has had one for many years. If he takes the bar out of it, it will slowly drop over a few days but otherwise has been rock solid. If you go to their website, you might find two different skew numbers. I did. I called 2 different stores here in town and they both had one of each number. I've been told that there is a "newer" designed model but I cannot verify that until I go inspect each one. It might have something to do with the pump fill hole, not sure. Some reviews on HF have stated that the pump came without oil, some gave it 5 stars, others 1 star. Must be what day it's made in China. Apparently, if you get the lift all the way up and put the bar in place, it ain't going anywhere. I'll be getting one in June. Thanks 53.
