What crap.  I especially like where they made the attempt  eyes to deburr it and still did a shitty job.  Hope it wasn't too expensive.
Doesn't look anything like the website's picture.

Yes,VERY misleading to say the least.
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Wow that price is right.  Maybe the ruff look is what they are refering to as "fitting required".   I think they chased a jig with a torch.
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.

Yes,it does and MUST have been done by hand by a monkey.. THe douchebag didn't even try to keep the torch perpendicular to the work.

Well,I finally had need of getting the ram mounted on the bender. Decided to just go with it as the kit was cheao and the ram was pretty cheap also so what did I have to lose? With about 30 minute of quality time at the disc grinder and the pieces are acceptable. Not good but good enough for a HF ram.  rofl  Anyway,the thing will need a couple of bushings made to fix a BS problem ,pics later will explain, but it works just fine. PLENTY slow enough to get the angles dead on. Too slow actually but better by far than too fast. So far it is easier than manually bending to hit the target angle. That was a big concern of mine. Sooooo,for the price I guess I can't bitch and if it goes to shit ,the concept is very sound and easily remade much better at the waterjetters with thicker plate even though that is not really needed for strength but the thing would be much more professional looking. All in all I'd recommend it for a cheap conversion kit.
