I'm thinking about getting a hoist. Anybody got an opinion (thats a dumb question) on a good one? Not going to be lifting any big bolts but don't want to limit it to little foreign cars either.

I got the 2 post unit with arms that swing under. My big problem is that it's outside (had to pour a new concrete slab) and will be shoping for one of those RV covers. With the four post/ramp style you can move it around pretty easily inside and out. I think your garage, barn or building is the first issue, just wish I had the bigger shop.

Beware of cheap lifts made in china. I've seen pics of cars seriously damaged after a cheap lift failed. There are a number of quality lifts available. Most 7-10K lb. lifts will set you back over $2K. Personally I'm partial to Bend-Pak.

I like the "Back Yard Buddy" myself. They will send you a free video if you request it. They talk about the different types of construction of other brands too. Here is the web site.
