I bought one from Northern 7 or 8 years ago for $200. It wasn't the folding
one. I don't remember the rating on it but it has an 8 ton ram. I rented
one before I bought mine to pull an engine out of a Toyota Supra (dual
overhead cam Six) it was a breeze. So jerking the 216 shouldn't be a
problem for either the 1 Ton or the 2 Ton from Northern For the $50
difference between the 1 ton and 2 ton in there catalog. I'd go with the 2
ton. "Bigger is Better" I'm not to keen on folding type tools they seem to
be flimsy. But that's my opinion, I could be wrong!
