Customer Reviews for Big Red 10-Ton Porta Power Hydraulic Body Frame Repair Tool Kit with Wheel Case

As others have reviewed, this device is well made and does the job nicely. The case would be better made from cardboard - it bends when lifted, the wheels hardly turn, and the inside plastic shatters under the weight of the tool. If you want to transport this from job to job, the case won't last. If you have a toolbox to put the parts into, this is a great tool for the price.

Have not been able to get a new case. Would recommend but perhaps pick up in store to alleviate the aggrevasion of dealing wit hte shipper.

The case was borken & there was a part missing & it was all scrated up.

I purchased the porta-power to straighten the front bucket on my Kubota. It finally did the job but it was a work out for the ram. Since then the porta-power sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I usually have to release the valve and retry a few times before the pump builds up pressure. I think the kit would be fine if you only used it at about 30% of its rated capacity. I would not recommend it if you plan on using it frequently at or near its limits. You get what you pay for.

Hydraulic set is all I ask for. The case is not much more than a cord board box. came damaged and is cheap

works great and it's 100 dls. Cheaper than other brands same quality than OTC

Overall this is a good set. The case that it come in is practically worthless, but fortunately the case is not used in the process.

This is a nice set that is very well built as far as the hydrolics go. Unfortunately, the case leaves a lot to be desired. Do not let the case be a deciding factor when ordering because you will be disapointed. At least putting solid rubber wheels on it instead of hollow plastic ones would be a great improvement. However, the equipment inside is well built and should stand up to many years of service for most repairmen. Most of the parts are heavy cast iron parts that are machined well and work nicely together. The hydrolic cylinder is long enough to provide a full 10 tons of lift and the handle will keep you from breaking your back. Again all in all it is a nice unit.
