    4 post lift decision

    i bought an Atlas pro 9 lift last fall. I really thought I wanted a Bendpak but the wait time was longer than I wanted to wait. i bought another Atlas last week....well made for the money and does everything I need it to do!

    Snap on anniversary box

    I'd be hard pressed to pay $3k for that. If you look, you'll find a nice used epic box that is years ahead of that one in comfort with the drawer slides etc...for a very comparable price!

    4 Post Lift - recommendations please

    I looked at a bunch of them. backyard buddy is nice, rather pricey but I do think they're well built. I looked at Advantage, not bad either-in fact my dad purchased an 11k hoist and is happy with it. I looked at Direct-lift...definately a little on the cheaper end as far as quality build...
