everyone is right on, you won't use it that much. except, nobody does anything around here for $5 anymore. i had a 10 ton one years ago. it was in the way and never big enough so i sold it. i did pick up a 30 ton, made in the use, older one about 6 months ago. since i build my shop last year i now have the room. and if i use it 5 times i will be in the black! kind of like the coats tire machine i had- wish i had that back now too. the 30 ton seems about the right size. i say if you got the room and find a good deal- get it.
