I agree Ken but they have really marked them up lately
... in my opinion way to much for a pretty basic hoist
I committed to one of these this weekend.

if they lock at all 4 corners they are fine, and to be honest I dont care what they say about the feet not spreading on backyard and some other brands including the one I bought....there silly idea of the bar in the tube preventing the legs from going outwards dont look bullet proof to me..that is plenty of load trying to push out with some levarage...I plan to pin my bottom legs with some 2"x2" 1/4 square box tubing couple holes and some grade 8 bolts and she is not going anyware even if we get a little quake they are selling these on special right now with all the extras for 1795.00 plus 325 shipping to Seattle, you might have to go through my local guy to save the other hundo off the listed price on the site, he claimed it was for the swap meet special...yea right
......I looked this one over well and after looking at a few diff brands in person, its as good as any of the others and priced right.
Bud.
