Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

Has anyone bought and installed this lift?
1300 lb. Electric Hoist with Remote Control
I'd like to lift implements and move them to a storage rack. Assuming the rail is not included, I want to know where to get a rail that could allow the lift to slide on it? Ideas?

I have one, got it from someone who had it mounted on a piece of barn door track, worked well for him.

I've got the next size smaller, but I just mounted it to the ceiling of my barn. It is very handy and quite powerful.

Thanks for the reply. It could be here - this AM I changed DNS from ISP default, to 8.8.8.8 (google) after images.frys.com not found.

I'll investigate here.

Did anyone else get that redirect?

Nope. I got a link to a just good enough website for just good enough tools! :laughing:

Thanks Aaron and Travelover, it looks like it mounts on a rail system and I want it to slide so I can lift and glide over to shelf. TSC has a rail but the lift capacity is only 450lbs and the brackets even less. I will look harder for barn door track as suggested.

No. I got right to the HF site that Aaron mentioned.

No. I got right to the HF site that Aaron mentioned.

I had no issues either.

I am looking at the HF cement mixer. Cement Mixer - 3-1/2 Cubic Ft. Cement Mixer

The reviews seem to be pretty positive. Have a small job to do (2-3 bags of quickcrete) but, always seem to have small jobs that I do with a wheelbarrow.

Any experiences out there?

Thanks!

Neighbor has one. Likes it. It has lasted at least 8-10 years of occasional use. Not babied.

As a comparison I have this one from Home Depot I've mixed 400+ bags of cement and it's still going strong. It holds 2 - 80 pound bags.
Proforce 1/2 HP Portable Cement Mixer-105890DPT - The Home Depot

The Harbor Freight one looks like it would hold more and it cost less.
