    Need an engine hoist?

    I've been searching craigslist for one and somehow ran into this.. This is the cheapest I've seen one go for and its new ;)

    Just thought that I'd help the r3v fam out

    I have one of these and it works great! Be sure to get a load leveler with it, well worth the extra money. And definitely get the more expensive one Harbor Freight has. The cheaper one is absolute garbage.

        That one appears to have non-adjustable feet. You want the adjustable feet. As NitroRustlerDriver said, that one is fantastic when paired with a load leveler. See, when you don't have adjustable feet(or don't adjust them, this happens)



        Go here be happy!

            My father made one for the shop back in the 90s. Who else has a homemade one?

                My dad and his brother made it yeaarrrsss ago. It works great.

                The engine stand from Harbor freight for $50 is pretty nice.
