🔧 10-Feet Manual Hand Chain Block Hoist with 2 Hooks - 1 Ton Capacity (Yellow) by SPECSTAR Review

My hands were like soot after operating the elevator. The chains jammed almost immediately and never worked. Apparently it was a return that was sent back to an unsuspecting buyer - me.

I disassembled the case to install the pulley. After removing it, I noticed that the pulley has sharp edges, which is not true. Since the chain seemed to be sticking to the…
