I've been looking at electrics for a while to rest some tendonitis in my left wrist. Sears is selling the Wen 6 ton with a 2hp motor for $255/ free to door shipping. Sounds like a little extra beef at a good price. It also says cold temp. (below 40*) is ok with Dextron. It looks somewhat like a Homelite but a little heavier duty. Anyone have one or have an opinion?

No bites on this post but in case anyone's interested, Amazon has this listed through Woot! on sale today only for $199 + tax and $5 shipping. Couldn't resist and pulled the trigger myself!
 
Better: 6 ton, 15 amp motor, The support on the side more sturdy and less chance for wood chip stuck in between . Oil filler is tool less, the wheels are wider (more stable when moving) and the way they design the handle to control piston movement is nicer too.
I don't like that it need 2 hand to operate.( I known it is safety reason)
