harbor freight is a hardware store that is all over the place. And on-line. It's a pretty good place to get cheap tools. Don't use them if you're getting tools you want to use everyday for the next 20 years, but they are great for things you need every now and again that you don't want to spend a bunch of money on. And as an added bonus, they always smell like a tire factory. The only thing I can't understand is why my wife prefers shopping at Marshalls instead of hanging out a harbor freight.

or this for a lot less money... we use em all the time:

We're lifting fuselages, not straightening wings.

we use a manual come along to lift fuselages, rather than an electric lift. for the dude doing one refinish, he might as well save 100 bucks where he can.

The reason I like the electric is that I can quickly go up and down when I'm painting which I find very useful with my old stiff body. The bottom seems to come out better that way.
He knows his options which is a good thing.
The 400 lb hoist is fine for the shop.

true enough! i would love an electric lift, maybe someday!

Spend the 100 bucks. You will be glad you did. Then the manual things can be saved for pulling up the trailers that roll over the edge of your parking area- LOL
