The Hetra's we had at work were always having some issues, we had three sets in the end, they always had issues. Not very dependable at all.
We tried the Koni's on demo for about 6 months with zero issues.

We started with a set of Sefac's, talk about wasted metal those made better jack stands than they did lifts. We got about 6 months out of our Koni's before they decided to make life interesting. I really get tired of playing ring around the rosie with that damn key getting them to link up only to get an error code. The Rotary's don't use the key they will recognize them selves, plus they have pockets on them to move them with a forklift. With a 20,000sqft shop that makes for a great feature.

That Jay Leno video was very weird. He seemed kinda drunk. The guy didn't seem super prepared to talk about the columns, and it seemed like Jay had never even seen them before despite loving them. He didn't know how they worked at all.

Still, I think this is a pretty impressive picture of them in use on their website:

We have several of those at our shop,the mechanics use them to oft city buses.
The ring around the rosy with the key does ****,even more when you have one that will not communicate because of a dead battery!
