My uncle swore by those $50 harbor freight engine hoists. I laughed until I needed one.
I was rebuilding a 350 SBC in my garage in Denver and needed to pull the motor from my 72 C10. My uncle told me just get the cheap one, it'll do fine, and I argued with him saying it'd snap. Well, three years and two engine swaps later, that thing is still going strong with no issues. Has anyone else had surprisingly good luck with budget lifting gear or am I just lucky?

Honestly yeah, same boat here. Mine's hauled way more than it should have and hasn't let me down yet.

Your uncle swore by those $50 harbor freight engine hoists" - I've read online that those things are basically the same as the big name ones, just with a different paint job. I'd still sleep better with a jack stand under whatever I'm lifting though.
