Jerry,

What kind of HF hoist do you have? The engine cherry picker type?

I went up to HF in St.Paul MN a few weeks ago. My first time! at a HF. 
Must say I thought the stuff looked pretty good. I got some chicken 
skin gloves for forging. I like to protect my hands from random burns 
etc and the thin gloves at under $1 per pair are fine. I wear them once 
or twice. Then move them into the pile for greasy tractor work etc.

I could use a hoist in my shop right now. I like something like this.

I only have 8' ceiling so I can't get too big.
