Engine hoist or bar with wheels OK - so Harbor Freight is selling an engine hoist for $200. They also have this U-shaped bar with wheels that could be used to remove an engine from the top....it is priced at $60....
...is the u-shaped set of pipes with wheels a waste?

My engine hoist came from HF. For $200, I don't think that it can be beat. The hoist works great and you also cannot beat the free shipping from them either.
About the only way the $200 deal can be beat is if you have a free shipping code from northerntool. I believe they have the same $200 hoist, but it comes with an engine leveler for like $215. With free shipping HF cannot beat $215 shipped for a leveler and hoist.
The only drawback with HF is the shipping time...at least to Michigan. If you do not want the leveler and quick shipping is of no concern, then go with HF.
