I have been looking on Ebay and Amazon. Found one on Amazon for 1600. Who has some suggestions for me. I really do not have more than 1600 to spend.

Do you guys have any suggestions, or comments on the lifts on Ebay and Amazon.

I have a connection on buying 8 2 post lifts, these were all just taken out of a local dealership service. They are all 7000lb made by benwil good quality lifts. they are all for 3 phase power so you either have too buy a phase converter or just a new single phase motor

Whatever you buy, make sure it's ALI certified. I wouldn't trust something without to hold thousands of pounds over my head.

So do the tool trucks when you are using hand tools to make a living you buy the better quality stuff.

That is COOL, but I want an actual lift. So next time, when i need to do maintenance on my car, I will not have to be on the ground. I found a couple used ones for 1200, and Amazon has one for 1300 shipped to my door, lifts 9,000 lbs.

This is nice. However, you can find used quality lifts for about the same.

Storage would be convenient with this quick jack though.
