Sorry for the delay in responding -- I've been away from the forum for quite some time... Anyway, as noted before, the liners do an excellent job of holding the tools in place. There is still some sliding if the drawer is pushed in aggressively, but it's not hard to manage. I'm still quite...

Well, after a lot of calls, e-mails, and time, things have finally worked out. Best Buy/Quality Tool finally did the right thing. A local installer showed up today with a new Pro Park 9 Plus, installed it in my garage, and took away the old one. Unfortunately, I still don't trust David...

SWECO 480 Trail Dozer. Built in Northern California.

Thanks for the replies. If I don't get a positive response by tomorrow, I'll move forward with the credit card company, as well as some more aggressive pre-litigation demand letters with deadlines. Unfortunately, that will be followed by a lawsuit, as my last resort. Despite how nice he was...

My bad feelings about Direct-Lift are twofold: 1) The only experience I have with their products is a beat-up, twisted, weak-running lift which barely works at all; and 2) It is Direct-Lift (not the distributor) who first lied about this lift being certified (via e-mail exchange), then...

As noted above, I ordered the Direct Lift in March. Well, it's been quite the (lousy) experience, and it's still not resolved. I was going to await the final resolution to post, but it seems appropriate to provide a status report now. I ordered from Best Buy Automotive Equipment -- or so I...

Yep, the damn thing takes up far too much floor space. All I need is a 10,000 lb. capacity wall hook!

For hut and camping trips (where pee bottles are not uncommon in tents) I always write "PISS" on my scotch bottle.

Now that's more like it. I built my new garage primarily to house my trail building tools. Some may look like garden tools, but I don't have a garden! Let's see if anyone can identify the make/model of the dozer in the first two pics.

I also have a couple of Rapid Reels and agree they are excellent. I also made a major mistake recently by buying one of these: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/3BA14 This Legacy hose reel has to be the biggest POS I have EVER purchased. In fact, I would call it a ripoff at $20. Not...

I finally ordered mine today -- went with a Pro Park 9 Plus and two manual 4500 jacks. I ordered from Best Buy Auto Equipment. I'll post a comprehensive review when I get it here and set up. For now, though, the ordering experience. I called Greg Smith first. I don't really like the "call...

I've got to chime in on that question as well. I've done quite a bit of research, including direct inquiries to Revolution (via the contact link on their website), and my local Revolution dealer. Both claim definitively that the Pro Park 9 and the Revolution RFP9 are in fact the same lift...

About a week ago I ordered an Extreme 72" box. It's NOT the same one as reviewed by Leonard at the start of this thread, but is the one currently advertised on the strictlytoolboxes home page. (Model EX7218RCBK) First, the packaging: Shannon told me at least twice to make sure the box looked...

I'll post the details of my experience when I get mine -- which should be by the end of the month. Kapt -- now that you've had yours for a little while, any new info to add? Any others want to chime in on good or bad Pro Park 9 experiences? (By the way, is yours a Pro Park 9 PLUS? I don't...

kapt -- thanks for the detailed writeup. All the info helps a lot. Of course I was hoping for an all "great" report, but overall it sounds like you're happy with your purchase. Good luck on sorting out the noise issues.
