    That is a lot cheaper than I thought. I figured about $10k completely shipped/installed. It definitely seems like one of those tools you groan about when you buy it, but after a few uses you wonder how you functioned without.

    I started with an air single cylinder underground lift 30 years ago . Always bolt any lift down. I've seen them collapse. make sure you have stops on both ends when using a 4 post lift. I have seen cars roll off the ends. I always build my shops with 14 foot ceilings, but you can get by with shorter. Just make sure you put a safety trip that will stop the upward motion at the max height. I've got an airplane hanging from my ceiling also, but not where the hoists are. There is a pic of it on my channel.

  • @impc2505

    I spent 10k building the garage. 12ft ceiling and 12" deep concrete where the lift posts sit. $500 Benwil lift. $250 to install the lift. The installers positioned the posts by hand, drilled, and mounted. Set the chain length for the arms to be even and installed the power to the motor.

    Good review. Lots of great info. I see folks getting the BendPack pretty often. We have three Direct Lift Pro Park8 lifts in our three car garage. The biggest car we have is a 996TT, but I've had a Cayenne and an M5 and they do fit. The Direct Lift is the one with the mechanical locks - so no air compressor. They are also 110V and were just over $3K installed. We had one hydraulic unit go out, but it was quickly replaced under warranty. You can do quite a bit of work on the lifts and I use them for all of our How Tos. So much safer than jack stands and such!

      If the lift was already assembled, after marking the anchor bolt locations, then lift would need to be moved out out of the way for drilling and so the anchors can be installed and then the lift would need to be moved back to bolt it down. Doing so during initial installation would have resulted in less labor and would have been easier.

I'm going to have to think about this, I didn't realize I've got to buy a house and have a garage, to enjoy you're cool lift :-) thinking it, probably work on the beach just look for a nice solid place to erected in Baja, in the Arroyo, :-) and I don't need a manual that's for sure! Because I got a guy, named Manuel who can install it for me:-) the most important thing is that it can lift my spirits up. little humor never hurts during these troubling times! I don't even drink but I'm not going to let Corona V eliminate my future dreams oh, it would be so nice on the beach I could check out the federales cars, when they come by to visit to free rotation for the surfer girls sweet

    2850$? At the beginning I was like hey, this might be useful for me, then I looked at the price I was like I can buy another car for that money. I can buy a shed for that money.
    But damn do I want to weld up one myself now XD

    Bought one off craigslist for 1500 works great in my shop for oil changes on my brothers 305 sprint car and my 600 super sprint. The cars are too low for a jack and often is a pretty tight situation with a lift it's raised up and we can stand underneath it. Us it helps so when our hauler is in the shop we can just park my 600 under the 305 on the lift half to put the wing waaaaayy down but that takes seconds

    Did you ever figure out if a cheaper bridge jack will work with the HD9?? The Bendpak unit is over 2x the price of the DirectLift but I read that the directlift unit will have issues working on the HD9...haven't been able to confirm that myself. Thanks the video's...very well done.

    Just get one of those very high jack stands. Put one under the subframe in the middle, lower the lift a bit and BAM you can work on the wheels without having to jack up anything

    I'm curious how that lift supports the weight of the car... I hope it's not only hydraulic pressure... You know, when I lift a car, I use hydraulic pressure... through a jack. Before I get under the car... I put a jack stand under the car... as hydraulics fail.
    Edit: Safety locks. Seems good to me.
