Needed an engine hoist, and Behold....

[Dans 68]

I have had an 383 engine and auto-transmission in the back of my truck since Sunday. As rain fell Monday and Tuesday I threw a tarp over them both and figured I'd get an engine hoist over the next few days to easily unload them. So, I was doing collapsable 2-ton engine hoists homework today and decided I liked Harbor Freight's 2-ton collapsable model, but it was not on sale now and I'd probably wait until it was. Just my personality.

For giggles this afternoon I checked Craigs List...lo and behold, there was a never used HF 2-ton engine hoist for sale. The seller had bought it a few months ago, assembled it, and kept it in his storage unit. It is now in the back of my truck next to the engine and transmission.

I'll have a smile on my face the rest of the night.

gotta love when craigslist comes through.

Ive also been using the "for sale nearby apps" (OfferUp, 5Miles, LetGo, etc) and found absolutely killer deals on some stuff (FitBit Charge that retails for $150...paid $60 for it, new in the unsealed box.). Sometimes I dont ask questions as to why the deal is so good...

I've got the same one, but Princess Auto "brand". It's nice that it folds and you can put it in a corner out of the way. Picked mine up second hand, was only used once, for $100 Cdn.
