Knees are shot. Like ice cream too much to loose weight, means the obvious answer is to install a lift.
So, looking at the "reasonable" end of 9K lb, symmetrical lifts, what's the short comings of the following brands? http://www.naautoequipment.com/2-post-lifts.html http://www.derekweaver.com/update/products...9A_2_Post_Lifts http://www.eagleequip.com/page/EE/PROD/LI-ETP/MTP-9F http://www.nationalautotools.com/nt9-9000-...e-lift-p-2.html |

I realized early on about the dual locking ... mainy because the $1000 difference in price has that as a big marketing ploy.
I don't see it as a huge issue either. 2-3 days???? Does that include concrete cure time? I don't see anything more than 6-8 hours with help. |

As you can imagine I did not have much help.
A friend came over for a limited time to help put the posts in place. (Yes, my one friend and even he does not like me enough to stay for the duration.) And I had a small hammer drill for the first drilling attempt... then rented a monstrous Hilti. Other then that no it does not take much time. I have only worked on it a little each day after work. (Blatant excuse) I am kinda stuck right now because I need a huge set of snap ring pliers. Mine are like GI Joe sized. This post has been edited by shortbus: Dec 17 2008, 09:02 PM |
