Re: Tomorrow's a big day in my life
I'd love to hear how that goes, what a great tool. I'm thinking about one as well.

Re: Tomorrow's a big day in my life
You will soon wonder how you did any work without a lift. Enjoy.

Re: Tomorrow's a big day in my life
I purchased a 4 post BendPak lift a little over a year ago. Great to drive the car up on and get to the grease fittings and any other job that requires you to lay on the floor. Hope you got the drip trays. I use mine also to double the size of my garage. One call always is on the lift and another one underneath.

I've never heard anyone say 'I wish I didn't have that lift, I'd rather go back to crawling under the car on the concrete on my back.' |

Yeah, it requires a ten foot ceiling when the car is up high enough to work under it without stooping. 4 post lifts are also handy for installing bodies onto chassis. Makes it a one man job. Just lift the body up with rope slings high enough to roll your chassis under it and slowly let it down. Also can be used as a buffet table when your car club visits your garage! |

Re: Tomorrow's a big day in my life
As we get older need to work smarter. This will make your job easier and make your body "last longer" with less ache's. A great garage tool, congratulations!

Re: Tomorrow's a big day in my life
caution, some of the offshore oil in the cylinders has been known to eat holes in the hydraulic hoses, insist on Made in USA hydraulic oil

Re: Tomorrow's a big day in my life
Making hay, I miss it, but it gives me more time to work on the A and see my grandchildren.

Re: Tomorrow's a big day in my life
My retirement home includes plenty of home space for Pam and the all the grandkids plus 1,200 floor heated squares of garage with a two post hoist. From lifting the A to hoisting up the lawn tractor to clean the deck, the best decision made was to install it. You're going to love it.

Re: Tomorrow's a big day in my life
Your met department must be a bit like ours. They did start forecasting election results before they moved to forecasting weather.
