    Default WTB folding engine hoist

    Looking for a collapsible and portable engine hoist/crane to do an engine swap

    something like the Harbor Freight variety

    CraigsList has a bunch of ads but thought I'd see if a forum member had a TCB deal gathering dust

    Any interest in maybe renting one for a very reasonable rate?

    thanks, but I need the flexibility to use one when my schedule works

    and apparently most of them are used once then resold LOL

    I'll join those ranks next year

    Ah, I'm asking because I have one that is sitting and doing nothing right now. I always just bought and resold the hoist I had because every time I thought to myself "this is the last engine I pull"... 4 engine replacements/swaps later I wised up and decided to keep the last one.

    If you're talking about using one for a few months or so, I could accommodate that.

    Let me know if you change your mind.

    Thanks for the offer, but yesterday a Corvette club buddy of mine gave me one to get it out of his garage
