I could never justify the cost, but I want one of these.

The cost...or the hoist itself?


As shown in some other videos, something like this makes a lot of sense for large commercial shops ....the cost could be justified over time by easing some of the physical strains their mechanics go through on a daily basis.

No price listed, just "contact us for a quote."

I'm guessing $4-6 thousand.

Instead of this amazing high-tech device, I should just hang a rope from a truss in my garage, just in front of where my front bumper usually is, and tie several knots in it to help pull myself up off my creeper.

While talking creepers, this might be a good idea:

(Beware, from reading the comments below the video on the youtube page, I'm glad I watched it with the sound off.)
