I've been using this rotisserie for my restoration for about 7 years and Idk how people restore cars without them. It's really robust and I like that the balancing system allows me to turn it with a large wrench instead of via a small handle like on some of the lesser models. Just watch out and be sure you don't try to rotate the car unless it's properly balanced. The gear drive has shear pins that will shear if you rotate the car when it's not balanced. It's a cheap fix, but totally avoidable. Ask me how I know. Overall, I'd buy another.
