Does anyone have any experience with the Harbor Freight or Northern Tool Electric Cable Hoists? I want to install a hoist to lift things up to the second level of my workshop/shed. I want something for 1000lbs which is probably more than I would ever lift. HF has a 2000lb hoist for about $250. I have been watching Craigs List for a used electric chain hoist and the 120vac versions go for about $800 for a used half ton unit. The used 3 phase versions go for about half the price of the 120vac units but then I would need a phase converter.
So would the HF unit work to lift stuff up and down 20 odd times per year?
I don't plan on standing under it when I lift something.
I am looking for some real world feedback on the HF units.
