Load-levelers are a waste of vertical height, and the cheap junk engine hoists they're typically used with don't have any vertical height to spare since the booms are far too short in order to not overload the silly-small hydraulic rams and thin steel structure

I agree and the problem I have with mine.

And…..the Mac’s tool solves the problem.

You get what you pay for with this one.

I won’t do an engine or engine/trans installation or removal without one now that I have one, it’s never been this simple and easy.
