Default Engine hoist folding - Sam's - $179???

I saw a folding engine hoist at Sam's Club for $180. It looked real nice and it included a swivel bar and chains to level the engine. Paint scheme was blue and yellow.

Has anyone used this; a real steal or hunk of junk?

www.HarborFreight.com also sells these for about $200 but theirs does not include the swivel for leveling the engine - $49 extra at HF.

Any thoughts?

Thanks...

I have this hoist from Sam's, it is a very good quality hoist. The engine leveler that comes with it is a good thing to have if you are trying to remove an engine by yourself. Makes quick work of it, and it takes up little space when not in use. The engine stand that they sell is a very good one also.

i got an AC delco one from murrays for 200. i had the sams one and returned it before i opened it because of finaicial reasons but it was a nice setup when i saw it in the store. i dont remember how well it breaks down, but the acdelco one owns, it occupies like a 2ft by 2ft square in the corner of my garage, i love it.
