I could have pick up one in NY, a hour away drive, from HF for half the price. Read many many thread and decided to go with them.
While, price wise, Bendpack was not really competitive in Canada they might be in the US.
Truth be told, Bendpack is no longer made in the US and their part are not from here either. Sure you can live on old reputation and old on to dream but...
Then again, I never heard of anybody that die while working under a HF version.

As far as I can tell there are very few lifts made in North America and those that are are priced accordingly. Yes Bendpak has a great reputation and I think one pays for that reputation.
I'm not keen on generic lifts like the ones at HF and such - I spoke to one local guy who told me straight out he private labels his lifts and that most lifts out there are the same generic lift.
My concern would be getting parts, if necessary, and quality control. A friend imports products from china and it's usually good quality - but sometimes it is not and he has to reject the container - he's honest and won't sell it.
What I like about the Lift Superstore is that I'm speaking to the principals of the company - that doesn't mean that the product is good, but I like the direct contact. In addition, their haydrolic pump, cables and hydrolics cylendar are all made in North America and I like that.
Nuff said for now, my finger is wearing out 😉
