I agree with Phil, you need the right tool for the job. However many rental
shops rent hoists.
So the question are:
How many times will I use it over 10+ years?
How much does it cost to buy versus rent?
Where will I store it?

One of the best 250 bucks I ever spent!! I dropped a 1600 motor/trans from
4 feet using a come-a-long. A tooth sheared and down it came. Scared me
half to death! The only damage was the oil pan - I was lucky!
No substitute for the right tool!!

Question: My husband thinks we should invest in an engine hoist, I
have NOOOO
clue how much these run or if they are a viable purchase for a
hobbyist. Any
suggestions?
