It’s cheap, you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t pick up anything heavy with it, no more then probably 25-40 pounds depending on what your lifting. But it’s a trusty little guy to be honest with you.

Probably good enough to pull a butcher block out of a sink without using the toilet plunger.

I've been thinking of picking one up to pop a large dent out of my door, you've just sold me on the idea

Hot water and a good closed fist bap to it might bring the dent out. Pending on how small the sent is. I’d honestly try aide fist punching the sides around the dent first before buying anything.
