MG TD TF 1500 - No thanks

I just couldn't relax while working under this thing. $99, that has to be some quality materials :-)

If it's able to lift and hold a 3.5 ton light truck as shown, a TD should be a piece of cake in comparison. So there must be some reserves. The price is maybe missing a 0?

Tim. Any additional informaiton on that? It would be interesting to see. I agree with Mike. A TD would be easy in comparison, It appears to work by the weight of the vehicle pushing down on the frame.

I found it. It is actually German, so it is probably well maid (yea, I know that is a generalization)

Price in the ad posted is just a little off. Price is $16,143

Funny how a higher price inspires confidence, but it does - $16k is something of a deterrent though.

The $99 price was on the Facebook ad. I guess it's more the optics of the thing than the actual construction and strength that bothers me. Just like the Grand Canyon skywalk, you know it's safe but it still scares the *** out of you.
