I can’t speak for the Roberts I’ve never used one but my Crain has lived a hard life so far. Very robust and works as new. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ive got the crain power stretcher and a roberts one,neither are new,however i had 3 roberts gt2000 stretchers and they all broke in the exact same way so i refuse to buy roberts gear if i can help it now.
Crain seems to be more solid. http://www.tradediscountshop.co.uk/shop/crain-520-swivel-lock-power-stretcher-special-order/
