Replacement for Hydraulic Ram

[sean_cj7]

I saw this and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Looks like a good idea. It uses a 3/8 rachet drive to power it. It is some sort of spur gear and rack gearbox. Any info would be appreciated. It is made by JMR Manufacturing.

You can build a bunch of hydraulic benders for that much...but it is nice and compact and simple
