Solid .
Super solid crane. Really glad I chose this one. I would prefer the top of the range powerhead so I'm going to upgrade to a ph200 down the line once a few jobs pay up, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Otherwise definitely deserves 5+ stars!! Good starter head for the money though take nothing away.
