where to buy an engine hoist?

[bobtsgt]

who sells them locally thats isn't harbor freight?

[PaulFiveOh]

I know the Smyth off Montgomery road sells them in the store.

[ibstrokin]

Sears, Napa, most auto parts stores may not have them in stock, but should be able to order them. Ebay, craigslist may also be good places to check.

[bobtsgt]

been checking ebay and craigs. found one but the guy won't answer the phone.

I got mine at a small tool shop in Amelia that was next to clermont
equiptment. It is a blue "Goodyear" folding type. The front wheels are notched
so the legs sit lower and fit under the car better. I would check sams they also sold them along with a nice folding engine stand.

i got a nice one from the MATCO tool man....very happy with it... folds up for storage and everything.

[kennebellcobra]

I got mine from KOI

I got one of the Goodyear ones from Sams Club. It folds up as well. It pulled my big block and c4 tranny together and put it back in with no problems.

I got mine at Pep Boys for a bit over 100.00 it works great folds up out of the way

My personal one came from Sams Club. I bought it back in '94 or '95.

That thing has lifted more engines than you could ever imagine. It has been loaned out over a hundred times, and it still works great.

I believe the one at Modular Depot came from Harbor Freight. It is actually a pretty nice unit. ;)

I got mine at Pepboys for 59.99:bigthumb

We got our 2 Ton lift, with 8 Ton bottle jack mounted on it, from Sams Club back around 1990 or so. It's still going and has pulled lots of motors and even hoisted a car to put onto a trailer a week ago. :bigthumb

[bobtsgt]

thanks for the input. I'll see what a new one from KOI will be with the discount. And I'll give you a call Ryan.

[BIGHONKEY]

They allways have them at the Smyth in Landen on Montgomery rd. If you only need one for one time deal you can rent them @ cincy tool rental ect.....

BTW after having one that doesn't fold for almost 20 years I say do yourself a favor, If it's rugged and folds BUY IT!! :bigthumb

[bobtsgt]

yeah I plan on getting a folding one. I'm tired of borrowing my step dads for all these jobs.

[Gearhead]

Whatever you do, don't buy one from AutoZone !!! Mine's real tippy and out of whack, even after trying to adjust it about a hundred times.....

[WhiteT]

Mine's from China Freight. It has sat outside for a few years and still works great.

[69428SCJ]

you can rent them from cincy tool

[bobtsgt]

^ yeah I've done that once in the past. I want to own one of those bad boyz
