After purchasing this item it wasn't used right away since the pipe piece were not ready to be beaded. Once ready I mount it on a vice and proceeded to do my first bead but unfortunately before finishing the first bead, the end handle part that's used to turn, repeatedly comes apart. Since its a pressed fit with no holding screw, there is no way of securing it. I feel this is cheaply made ... rebranded unit that's made in China.
Also....gearing is very loose and clunky, having to to crank the handle a quarter turn before beading starts.
This product is NOT recommended, I would have preferred to pay a little more and get a better quality unit.

Change your image on listing to reflect what your actually selling.
Hi
I received my steering rack and here is what i have to say about it.
1 )First of all it was covered in steering fluid.
2) Its painted over rust, paint has chipped away showing rust underneath.
3) Product does NOT fit depicted image on your listing (listing image looks much better).
4) Tie wrapped o-ring on unit with no description where to use.
Not very happy with your product.
