Do you have welding skills?

If so you can build your own in one afternoon for less than $50. I offer free plans to anyone who wants them. Just PM me with your real email address. I have built 6 sets myself and have given out plans to over 250 TBNers. A complete thread describing construction can be found by doing a search here.

I had a 3 point carry-all sitting around and welded a pair of "wings" onto it that allow me to pick it up with my QA FEL. Works pretty well, but is not width adjustable. I made the lift points from some 3" channel steel I had. I set the angled plates at 45 degrees from the vertical. I cut the hole in the bottom one for the lock pin by first scoring the lines with a circular saw, then turning my welder up to about 300 amps and blowing through it along the shallow cuts using a small diameter rod. It ain't pretty, but it worked very well.
