For the price of this unit it’s a good next step, maybe not the final step for a growing beekeepers toolbox. You must be mindful of the equipments needs. When you get it, take out the 4 small screws that hold the gear box together and add some food grade grease to the gear mechanism. It will be dry (no lubricant) from the factory and the teeth on both sides of the drive are made of a non high carbon hardened steel (softer metal wears more easily) so without lubricant I would expect rapid and possibly catastrophic failure to the unit with not to much use. Remember it’s always important to lubricant your tool if you expect it to last for many years to come. Replacing the four screws is as simple as they came out although the housing mechanism only goes back together on the same 4 sides as it came apart. Be mindful not to strip your screws out. The plexiglas is completely removable and nice that way when you go to clean it afterwards. The drum is stainless type metal. It could be thicker but it will be perfectly fine for the money. The leg mounts are spot welded to the drum. Tighten, don’t over tighten them. The additional holes in the bottom of the three feet to affix to a surface will also make the unit more stable and less wear during use and I recommend that you use them if even bolted to a heavy duty pallet with a 3/4” topper floor. I couldn’t find any instructions in the box but that being said, pulling two strips of coating over the plexiglass top and screwing three bolts with washers into the obvious spots where legs would go and are shown in all the advertisements, tightening the bolt already threaded and started in the handle after placing the handle on the crank shaft and adjusting two wing nuts on the top that were installed at the factory is a complete no brainer that even the most backward thinking ding dong should be able to see from a distance. Everything else is already in place.In the video I put three used and recently repaired frames from one
