Re: Car lift
Tom, I'm in the same boat age wise....can still craw under, but it's getting back out...and up again, that's the issue for me.
My dream for years was to have a lift. Finally, I found a sale on a four post Quality Lift, made in the USA. It can run on either 120v. or 220v. Since I have 220v in the garage for my welder, I added a circuit for the lift. Like Jerry Seery above, I use it quite a bit....maybe two or three times a week. Also, I've made some good friends in my neighborhood and helped them with their projects with all of us upright under the cars!! Don't have enough height to store cars stacked, but that's not a factor for me.
The benefit of 220v. is that the lift runs faster going up....gravity coming down is the same!!
The gentleman that installed mine has a business that services many of the commercial establishment in Tucson. From time to time, he has access to good used units...if I'd met him in the first place, think that's the way I would have gone.
In any event, I feel blessed to have what I have...in so many ways!!
Best of luck to you!!!
