QTR 94 Vevor 10 Ton Porta Power Kit 

I purchased a porta-power system that looks identical to yours, about 18 years ago. I don't use it often, but when I need it, it's a must-have.

I have the Harbor Freight version. My spreader jaw does not have a 1/2 ton limit. Great to use when leveling the lathe. Been a great aid doing auto stuff, but nice moving bigger stuff in the shop.

Gday Robert. That’s a very nice piece of kit you’ve got there. A very welcomed addition to any home machine shop. Cheers 🍻 Aaron

I have the Harbor Freight version also. Never had a problem with the cast iron. I've had it for around 15 years and use it regularly.

I don't have enough knowledge, but I would agree on the cast iron. Although, most every bottle jack I have ever seen including for engine hoists, the base is cast iron. Maybe not over 20 tons, I don't know.

Great review. Thanks

I have both , the over seas kit and a Enerpac set. The enerpac kit I found at a garage sale for 100.00 It is a 2000.00 + set ( not all there) I got it because it was 100.00 . Ive had the china ish set for 25 years. it works fine and have never broke any of the attachments. yes there is night and day difference in the 2 sets. not used much , but handy to have.

That's a nice setup.

cool tool there Vevor is just a importer for china stuff they are the online vesin of harbor freight but HF has lost there mins cuz Vevor is coming to tack there spot now cuz HF pricing has gone way to high and Vevor is cheeper for the same thing lol

There are 4-ton versions of that set. I would want the 10-ton version, just because. For you and others who have a shop with capability, replacing the CI parts should not present a problem. For direct pressure or load conditions, CI is OK; offset loading, not so much. This or a similar set is very handy for a lot of uses. You are sort of a bull-in-a-china-shop, eh?

Well, if you’re looking for a well made tool, mostly, Vevor isn’t the place to go. I was looking for a fairly small stacker. The Vevor models had “great” ratings of between one and a half to two and a half stars. Let’s say those reviews were interesting. Some of their stuff is good. I just bought a 132 lb anvil, the black one, which is really pretty good. But I’ve had other things from them that fell apart the first time I used them. Some of these companies are annoying, like Banggood and Vevor, because they have no real products. They buy, at the best price, from anyone who makes the tool. So if a tool is reviewed one month, the tool supplied may be different the next month. The base of most all hydraulic cylinders is CI. But in a high quality model, the fingers are usually tempered steel. Doesn’t the manual tell you to release the air and to add fluid before starting. On the side of the pump cylinder there looks to be the fill hole.
