It has been my experience that while the TCM is a decent lift, that there are better choices out there on the market when considering parts avaialability, durability, quality of construction, etc. That being said, I would say that the TCM IC line is better than the TCM electric line thus not putting TCM near the top of the electric market. They have a long way to go before they can hang with the Lindes, Raymonds, and Crowns of the world.
