REFLECTOR: What engine hoist?

[steve korney]

You can use an engine hoist for more then just picking up and installing an engine... Use your imagination... It's well worth having...

When a new one can be purchased for around $150 new, not to mention the used market...can we say ebay (?) ;-), I cant see a reason to only rent something you may have recurrent use for.  Well, except, as noted, storage.  Even though
 my folds, it still seems to be in the way at times.
 
As a rule, I do not wish to pull my engine but it sure is nice knowing the hoist is tucked away in a corner and available to me.  With daily rental at $36.00 ($23.00 minimum...not sure for how long), it would only take a few days need to pay for a new one.

I think either of these would work fine but why not rent one. Most metropolitan areas have tool rental companies.

Reflector,

 
I've never installed an engine before, either in a car or plane. Are there any special requirements for the engine hoist I'm going to need to put an IO-550 on my XL? Can I just
 get a (relatively) inexpensive automotive hoist like this . . . ?
