Engine Hoist

Anybody in town got a hoist I can borrow for tomorrow? (I rhymed.)

HF failed me and only had 1/2 of one in stock.

call me you can use mine but i need to charge 5 bucks for the next few that use it. it needs new casters. still works but just doesn't have that smooth gliding action that i so desire.

Scratch that Colman, changed my plans so don't need it for tomorrow. Thanks anyways..

They already gave me the wheels off their display engine stand...so I don't think there's much chance of me getting those too.

You should upgrade your casters to the heavy duty pneumatic tires they sell...then you can use the engine hoist off the pavement. Had a friend who did that to theirs and it worked incredibly well.

Of course that costs money...so nevermind.

thats why i'm gonna charge a few bux to lend it out so i can upgrade

no offense, but i would find another person to loan me a hoist or buy one myself before i paid someone 5 bucks to borrow one. at the most, if its a long term thing, there can be a beer transaction.

sorry if i let it get used 20x and eventually my generosity led to my casters needing to be replaced. pardon me for asking for a few bucks so i can fix it and still let others use it. maybe i should quit being generous and just not loan my tools out. no offense

Fred, in his defense, he is almost always the first one to offer up his hoist, kinda like jerry does with his sweet ***...

I will give you always seem to have some random crap for sale cheap. but charging to loan a tool is diff to me.

Maybe you should buy better quality equipment for everyone to borrow.
