Hello
finally getting back into the garage since all our snow is gone. as it turns out, so is my back, so no more heavy lifting for me. I just got a new floor jack, this one:

Its super sweet! it was on sale for $300 at carquest. its really smooth operating and the foot pedal is nice. I needed one that went low enough to get under my lower vehicles and my snowmachine. i had a top of the line craftsman, but it blew out the seals only 1 month after the 1yr warranty and the sears repair shop says it costs as much for a new hydraulic unit as it does for the whole jack. Not going cheap anymore!
now i want an engine crane/ hoist. I'll use it for any heavy lifting around the garage as well as engines. it will be used primarily on the ZJ and my '86 trans am, but maybe also on my plow truck, (full size chevy)
I'm thinking this one:

im open to any other suggestions. id like to keep it around $500 or less.
what do you guys have?
