Has anyone used one of these and if so what did you think?
I was thinking of putting one on the corner of my work bench (it is 3x8' 1/2 steel and weights about 900+lbs) and use it to lift trannys, final drives and such up to work on. Stuff that is under 500lbs but too heavy for me to grab off the floor and lift up there. I am not concerned with the bench holding the weight, I would guess it can hold in the 1000's of lbs and figure it is heavy enough to not tip too easily under any normal amount of weight. Just wondering what everyone one thinks?
Here is a photo of each to help:
