Nicholas Male says:

Thanks for a helpful video. To all the critics, please show some respect
and human decency, the video is free and well meaning. OK it’s not a
Hollywood blockbuster, but what do you expect? Go to the local cinema,
munch some popcorn and try not to say anything if you cannot be half nice.

Echo Liu says:

This video is very tedious. Not enough info ya need and too much time spent
on trivial stuff. 

CliRiM CiBa says:

you fucking idiot….. whoever wants to install the lift, has already
bought one, we dont need videos where to buy a lift.
moppet^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Mike Pierson says:

One good point that he did not mention is that when it arrives, it will be
on a freight truck. You will need a forklift or something similiar to off
load once it arrives.

Autohoist Australia Pty Ltd says:

Good video on shopping for a car hoist

because even at your young age bitchin garage toys are just badass. you are
sopposed to be convincing the young ratchetmouthed females you know that
you are good at plumbing and you are down to lay pipe.

Aleksandar Ojdrovic says:

What vendor did you use? Also, do you think Craigslist is a good place to
look for a lift?

thedalailama245 says:

Then don’t watch it.

edman79 says:

I’m very jealous of people who have a garage, let alone a lift. Apartment
living sucks ass!

JFD492 says:

this was really informative and interesting. Also Ben did a great job
speaking and getting the information across. however, it would be nice if
the audio was just a little louder. looking forward to watching the other
parts.

snake2005john says:

Whats the website name of the vendor you are showing in this video?

Guy Lamy says:

Oh good because 6 inches of concrete without a hammerdrill would take a
really long time, it just looked ridiculous. Nice videos by the way.

Glycerin says:

Maybe get some better speakers because it sounds fine to me

Mar093 says:

snake2005john says:

Akil Williams says:

I want one now, If you have never used a lift you don’t know what your
missing makes working on cars much easier…

Gazooo29 says:

Car and Driver Magazine says:

Arg. We were supposed to be faking the example, but too much clip got cut
in. Don’t worry, we’ll get use to a MUCH BIGGER drill in Part 3. – Ben

Wanderlust says:

any tips for searching for a supplier? what search string did you use to
find yours?

BlueGhostHD says:

I’VE ALWAYS WANTED A VEHICLE LIFT. I’m going to put it in my garage and dig
a hole underneath it so it can be concealed by my shitty car, and dig
underground tunnels that travel everywhere so I can take a shit on reality
and live out my life long dream to work with dirt. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.

Guy Lamy says:

1:30, How about using a HAMMERDRILL!!

philliesphn15 says:

1400 bucks thats cheap as hell. even with shipping.

EssexMustang says:

I’ve been bury changing the engine on a BMW E36 for the past week whenever
I’ve had time. Been using a 4 post lift and I have to admit that I wish I
could of borrowed the use of a 2 post lift. Would have made the whole job
so much simpler. Brilliant video by the way, some day I hope to have the
money for my own house… with a garage… then I’ll think about adding a
lift 🙂

vVeazel says:

Increase the volume already!

Car and Driver Magazine says:

As I said in the video, these things aren’t that crazy expensive anymore.
People spend more on televisions. And if you’re so inclined there are lifts
designed for almost any kind of garage. They really make working on a car
so much easier for the DIY type who might be watching our show. – Ben
