67 next month, and have abused my body making my living as a mechanic since I graduated from high school/votech in 1970. I need every aid I can find since I didn't understand the, "Work smart, not hard" adage until my back and other parts of my body started not healing like they did when I was younger, too little, too late.

Lift is the next thing I need to get, always had one at my workplace, but never got one for myself at home. At one of my home garages I did have a pit, almost as useful as a lift, but in this part of the country they have a habit of filling with water when the water table rises, too much clay most places.
I have one of those also but never installed it. What does it use for bracing under the bed?
