My husband is handicapped and that leaves me doing the heavy lifting so I love the Gorilla Lift. I can now lift our gates with one hand. I am getting older and I was afraid I was going to throw my back out lifting our heavy gates. Not any more. Couldn't be more pleased. We liked them so much we bought a 2nd set for the side gate. FYI - when using the S hooks to determine where to install the bolt on the gate, and when attaching cable to bolt once placed, use rubberized gloves when pulling on the cable. It makes it WAY easier. Any other gloves or bare hands will just let it slip.
