I recently pulled the engine from my 1982 Ford Mustang with my new Sunex 2 Ton hoist. Here's the video.

It was my first time using the tool and I learned a few things about it in the process. I was able to compare my experience with the new hoist with that of the old one. This video covers that comparison.

I like the new hoist. There are a couple of things I miss about the old one, but I don't miss the fact that it's pretty much falling apart after about 4 years of use. I will miss the handle and the fact that the hook was easier to use, but I'm looking forward to the dual pump action and the easy rolling casters on the new Sunex.

Make your own decision about which hoist you'd like to have in your shop.
