You are no slacker-those look great, I am going to do mine out of steel-shop in town has a CNC cutter and can do big plates and will be 8 of the same pattern

That is what people don't get: liquid is incompressible and is why it is used for lifting. Air copmresses and stores like a spring. Just say no to PVC. RApid air is fast and eay

I bought one from HF and have used it extensively. It is like any tool in a tool chest, you can often get by without it, but is so handy. Especially working in the shop alone. The gantry in conjunction with my 2 post lift and cherry picker allows me to handle so much more than only one would.

The Greg SMith PV10 ahs a single point to release the latch; arms swing easy and plenty of room, for the $ it was the best one I found. I had floor poured and went to 6" to be sure--but 3" will not suffice and rebar makes it tougher as invariably a couple of anchor bolts will interfere. 4" with...
