Hydraulic lift........

Tim,

Find a good and reliable hydraulic lift that would suit your needs. There is no perfect hydraulic lift so decide which one you like and go for it. Until you own one, you really don't realize what your are missing. For me, a hydraulic lift was a gift from heaven. No way I am going back to floor jacks. Four or five years is a long time to wait. Heaven forbids, you might not be that healthy in 2022. If you could rent a hydraulic lift for $1 a day, which is unlikely, after 5 years you already paid more than the purchase of a typical hydraulic lift. For 911 and smaller cars, a 5000 lb. capacity is more than sufficient. My 5000 lb. lift could get my 4Runner up but a 7000 lb. capacity would be better for heavier vehicles.

Just tell your spouse that it is on on sale and cheap. Plus you could do more house chores if you have a lift to alleviate your back pain (even if you don't have) from using the floor jacks. Any excuse to get her sympathy.
