It is not as incremental as any chain hoist but it's not a problem either it's stiil slow enough to control. It was easy to get used to. I used a chain hoist for years. The problem I had with chainfall is the chain needs to be shortened so the chain doesn't"Fall" on your newly finished plate. This makes it shorter and also harder to reach for the short people in the shop.<BR>

Is it not jumpy? One thing I like about the manual chainfall is that you can make it move just a fraction of an inch very, very smoothly!<BR>
