Manual Lever Hoist 1-1/2 Ton 20 FT Come Along - Durable Chain Puller

In this review of the Manual Lever Hoist 1-1/2 Ton 20 FT Come Along, the bottom line is simple: this is a rugged, budget-friendly lever hoist for light industrial lifting, strapping, bundling and dragging where durability and smooth chain action matter. The reviewer found it most useful for jobs that require a compact, dependable puller with a strong G80 manganese steel chain and a secure braking system. Its standout trait is dependable mechanical construction that balances safety features with an easy free-wheel function for quick slack removal.

Key Features

• Rated Capacity: 1-1/2 ton (about 3300 lbs) capacity provides reliable lifting power for medium-duty tasks like moving generators or securing loads.
• Chain Quality: G80 manganese steel chain gives superior tensile strength and wear resistance so the chain holds up under repeated use in rough conditions.
• Braking System: Double pawl braking with an elastic pawl spring delivers stable stopping and better resistance to sudden falls for safer lifts.
• Built Construction: Alloy carbon steel body and a thickened gearbox provide impact and oxidation resistance to extend service life on job sites.
• Included Slings: Two 2in by 5.5ft lift slings with flat eye loops increase attachment durability when used with shackles or hooks.
• Smooth Operation: Closed guided-type leading chain structure and a brake clutch let the chain run smoothly and allow free pulling when unloaded.

Who It's For

This lever hoist is aimed at contractors, maintenance crews, and DIYers who need a compact manual hoist for lifting, rigging, or dragging tasks where electric solutions are impractical. It suits workshop use, farm equipment handling and occasional rigging jobs where a 1-1/2 ton rated tool is appropriate.

Users who require frequent high-cycle industrial lifting well above this rating or who need powered lifting should look elsewhere; similarly, anyone needing digital controls or ultra-precise placement may prefer a different class of hoist.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid alloy carbon steel construction gives durable, impact-resistant performance on site.
• G80 manganese chain and robust slings offer high tensile strength and good wear resistance.
• Reliable double pawl braking and safety latch hooks reduce the risk of accidental load release.
• Smooth guided chain and free-wheel clutch speed up setup and slack removal.

Cons

• Lift capacity drew mixed impressions from users, so those needing perfectly positioned down-lever operation may encounter minor handling quirks.
• Manual operation limits speed and is not suited for high-frequency lifts compared with powered hoists.
