I think that the orange load equalizer is the "giveaway" on that.

I actually have two of them and one of their hoists.



I don't have great faith in the equalizers but do in the engine hoist. The thing is a monster and I only use it for long reaches like for the Pantera.

Not only is it really a "heavy duty industrial" item, it is just plain heavy.



I have a smaller, lighter and more maneuverable hoist to use on "American" front engined cars that gets much more use. It is much easier on my body to set up.



In many ways, Harbor Freight is just a reseller. Many items here now originate from "China", although that has become somewhat of a generic term of unknown origin but suspected "third world" production.

Imported items into the US are no longer required to show "Country of Origin" and/or, there are ways around that such as importing through a third party under an "International trade agreement".

Some are very good, some not so good.



The list of products attributed to "Chinese" production here is very extensive and not only includes tools and industrial items, but pharmaceuticals and even some foods.
