I know what you are saying, I was going to just buy a 2 ton engine hoist, only this is so much cheaper. Proceeding with caution nonetheless, cheers.
The base and top box on the red one are 1978 vintage. Then it grew a side box. Then it sprouted the "booster box" between the top and bottom. A couple of years back I resorted to a thrift store where I found the black set used. Still have two more top boxes over in the workshop that have to be moved, along with a drill press, a pedestal mounted grinder, and a small metal lathe. You retire, but you never stop working. I just don't get paid anymore. ...J.D.

Ah...Around here that time of day was the "pickup truck grand prix". All the trades people headed for the city [me too]…J.D.
As someone on the forum once commented, it’s hard to explain to a police officer why you might have a hammer, cable ties, duct tape, bin liners, plastic sheeting, hacksaw and a spade in your car...
Having 30 years experience as a hard core commuter on the Los Angeles freeway system, I believe you will see ANYTHING if you do it long enough. I usually ran over it as it flashed in front of me. Traffic on the freeways here in the off hours moves at 85+ MPH. You get in the commuter mode. Keep your right foot down unless there is no place to go [remembering there are 100's of cars right behind you doing the same thing]. On the odd occasion when my wife and I would go in to the city together, I would scare her to death. Welcome to my world wife. ...J.D.
Im a bus driver so I have the advantage of going over the same ground a few times in a couple of hours. What I see the first time and pass, gets picked up, next time around.
