Yeah. They're all cheaply made nowadays. I bet the Liftmaster I replaced would've gone another 16years if I didn't care about the noise. That was built much sturdier.

Don't do the screw. They end up being really loud unless they're well lubricated, my parents used to have two Genie screw drives and they were much louder than my chain.
