   I've seen that as well, but for hoisting equipment there are very   
   specific legally enforceable requirements on safety margins.  But good   
   luck enforcing that against a Chinese manufacturer.

   I bought a lever hoist from a discount store that barely met the   
   requirements for truth in advertising that it was a hoist. It lifted all   
   right but jammed too easily on lowering, and internally looked like it had   
   been hammered out by an apprentice in the 1700's. If the chain freewheel is   
   disengaged only luck and bad words will reengage it again. He had bought   
   only that one sample and I was the guinea pig tester. I kept it to lie in   
   the dirt and hold the feet of my shear legs from spreading, which avoids   
   trying to lower a load.
