I bought a two-ton hoist (AC Delco brand) from O'Reilly Auto Parts. Pretty much the same price as the hoists from HF or Tractor Supply, and I'm supporting my local auto parts buying from them also.
Quality is okay, I would have liked cleaner welds and it doesn't appear that they used the higher quality hardened bolts. I can always get replacement bolts that are hardened if I see some issues.
Now to look some more at engine stands.
Thanks,
Rob
