REFLECTOR: What engine hoist?

[John Abraham]

I second Scott's recommendation.  Nothing is more irritating than tripping
over your engine hoist (they don't exactly store well) so get a folding one.

Purchase one that folds for more compact storage.  The most basic
(inexpensive) hoist will handle the engine installation.

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 . . . ?
