I purchased it for lifting some speaker boxes. Still haven't figured out how to make that happen. But in the meanwhile, this worked great for another purpose; I needed to pull out some tree stakes which were far into the ground, which is rock. I set up a step ladder next to the stakes, hung this come along from the top of the ladder and wrapped the chain around the tree stakes. They came right out, yeah. Am pleased with it. It was tricky to figure out how to use the device and the included directions were not too helpful.
