Engine hoist...

[84gmcjimmy]

What engine hoist would you buy:
The jegs OR The eastwood

The eastwood one is almost twice the price, and I don't know why. Please vote in the poll:

After you vote, please tell me why you chose that answer.

do you have a local auto parts store? go there and ask, shipping would kill any savings you will find on the net

steve there has to be a princes auto out there. check them out, they have reasonable prices on lota stuf like that, hoists, jacks, air tools, ect.

Canadians:
There is no shop like you 2 described, there is Lordco autoparts I could try. Otherwise thats about it.

i have one similar to the jegs one but i paid $50 bucks cheaper and it was local. any tool place should be able to get one cheaper than jegs.

i got mine from pep boys for 200 bucks and i can hook it up to the air compressor which i find is nice. good quality, and has performed well.

200.00 bucks

Foldable engine lifts are the best. If not they take up so much space.

 

[84gmcjimmy]

Yeah, I will need a foldable one because I can hardly walk around in my shop because theres so much stuff /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I'll check the local store here when I get back in august... any specific options I should look for?
Thanks

Go to autozone and make the handle of their display one "disappear". I didnt do it but the one I bought was missing the jack handle (a foot long piece of 1/2" pipe) so they knocked like $30 off of like $150 I think /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif

I'm in canada-no autozones near me /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif

Did you not see my post? If you buy one for say $200 USD then it will at least be $450 CAD to your door. Just order one from house of tools if you don't have one near you go online to the link someone else previously mentioned.

 

[84gmcjimmy]

Okay, I will go to the house of tools website and take a look at them. Thanks /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

its just an awesome deal, I searched high and low before I bought mine. The only thing close was I think $350 at a local parts store.

 

[84gmcjimmy]

Fry,
Where are they located? I am on the site right now and cant find a location thing. How much would shipping be? Do you think they will still have them in a month? I don't have the money right now. Thats a really good deal I don't want to miss /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif
