Northern Tool Chainfall

Part Time Pete · Mar 30, 2015

I'm looking for a one ton manual chain fall. There doesn't seem to be any available locally, so I checked out Northern tool. They carry Jet and Roughneck brand.
Anybody have any experience with these, good or bad? I know Jet generally makes good stuff. I'm guessing the Roughneck is their Chinese brand
Thanks

Probably very hard to find one that's not made in china, unless it's an old CM. I think even the new CM's are made in china. I have had a cheap one for 15 years, bought at Tools and More in StCloud. Its always hanging on the dolly on a beam in my shop, don't use it much but sure is handy.

I just looked at the owners manual for both, the roughneck is definitely Chinese, but the jet might be made in Tennessee!

Thanks Russ,
It's only $40 more, so looks like I'll go with the one made in Tennessee!
