[@dj4monie]

These also save your lower back... No more on the ground doing stuff. Best investment in a home shop.

[@onedayiwillmakesomecontent]

Bought a hoist off Joel a few years ago. Super easy to deal with, and helped out real quick with any questions during purchase, freight, or when i was setting it up. Big thumbs up 👍

[@paulcoote3094]

Excellent review. Just placed order for one of many to come. Cheers guys.

[@FelixTheHat302]

This is actually quite an informative and in-depth article. Nice work

[@nickg4135]

3k for a hoist damn, i thought they were close to 10k. i should probably get one lol

[@TorqHub]

Exactly! The only reason to NOT have a hoist in this day and age is not having the physical space to put one. They aren't anymore expensive than the rest of the tool kit

[@joebaxter4235]

But the installation charge is $7000. There's your $10,000!

[@BackyardMechanics]

Joe Baxter install cost for this one was $0 + a sparky to wire it. If you’ve got a couple of mates you can put it up in a few hours as easy as we did. No smoke and mirrors here. First time we’ve done it, instructions were spot on and it all bolted together like a dream.

[@TorqHub]

Yep! I've installed mine twice. 2 person job, doesn't take all that long 👌

[@brettus9115]

@@joebaxter4235 Yeah you'd be counting the slab in that price and it does add up quick if you don't have one already or if you physically cannot install the hoist yourself (disabled, etc)... There's a hoist near a mates place in Aitkenvale (Townsville) out the front of a house in the open, no cover and has been there for the past 8yrs that I can remember now so all that's required is a slab if you're willing to get roasted in the sun like these turkeys are! Up here you need shade ffs and I'd think most of Australia would agree anyway working on a car in the boiling sun can eat a dick!

[@stocker4295]

Excellent video

[@Michael-yt8wj]

Where's the video about the new shed build ?

[@giddyup3451]

Did you buy the hoist at full price or get a deal in exchange for a favourable review? Either way, disclosure is useful.

[@michaelgrage6392]

Thanks for the great advice

[@exup250]

@Fullboost can you please let us know the approximate dimensions of that shed? Trying to visualise how big of a shed I need.

[@BroomysGarage]

The back half of the shed where the roof is tall is 5m wide, 7m long. The wall is 3.6m tall and roof pitch is 11.5 degrees.

[@exup250]

Paul Broomy Thanks! I was hoping to get a 7m wide, so at least I know it will fit.

[@slmiano]

I work for a company that has 4 2post and 1 4post, every so often they have have them calibrated. Is this the same for your hoist?

[@snail626]

I do hoist for a living. Yes they need servicing and balancing.

[@mexicossie1592]

Why didn’t you show us the assembly and installation.....that 626 Mazda though...anything on that???

[@fullboost]

We showed it being installed in the video.

[@BackyardMechanics]

Sean Parris anything on the 626?? Oh Hi... you must be new around here.... #projectredline

[@jonwallace1253]

[@S14AA]

3 stage front arms 2 stage rear ?

[@BackyardMechanics]

Ben Matthews no the car was just on it ‘backwards’, which is fine with these type of arms anyway.

[@ayejimmay6547]

Take that godam key out of the chuck...... you're giving me anxiety haha

[@BackyardMechanics]

Mitchell Ormsby normally I have multiple keys in it for this very reason

[@peteanderson2533]

Are you lucky enough to have 3 phase in your shed?

[@fullboost]

240v

[@dj4monie]

Here in the US at least in Los Angeles County it's easy, you call DWP (Water and Power, City Owned...). For a moderate price they will come in and put in a 220V source, which is also good for supercharging electric cars, Fiat 500e is a excellent shop runabount.

[@BackyardMechanics]

The hoist, mill and lathe all run off mains 240v. I don’t see a need to run 3 phase out here. Don’t do anything heavy duty enough to warrant it.

[@peteanderson2533]

@@BackyardMechanics yea nice. A mate of mine has a hoist in his shed. I know he has 3 phase on the property (and to the shed, because he is nuts), but can't remember if his hoist is single or three phase. It has definately come in handy with his cars, STI Liberty, Cobra replica and Hilux.

[@SideKickNz]

"Watch this before buying a hoist" My hoist turned up yesterday 😪

[@BackyardMechanics]

SideKickNz if you’re installing it yourself you could get some pointers from the second half of the video ! Hopefully your instructions are as detailed as the ones these guys supply.

[@SideKickNz]

@@BackyardMechanics I still watched anyway because i like these guys... But installation was included on my one

[@charlesgalea69]

Great video that guys awesome information I’ll definitely be in contacting Joel keep up the great content.👌

[@dwayne1763]

Awesome video guys! I brought and installed the tuf-lift into my shed a few months ago disappointed with the lack of instructions we got with it but otherwise happy should of gone with these guys!

[@exup100011]

Greetings from the Uk . I own a garage equipment company and although i mostly agree with what you have done installing your own lift i would however recommend the following. Get the lift installed by the lift company, reason being if there is an accident with the lift and the authoroties get involved how would you go about proving you were a competant person to install it ? Also get it load tested, in the uk it is a requirement to have the lift tested by an independant company to its maximum lifting capacity and issue a certificate to prove it. It is a royal pain to do all this but if you run a company with multiple workers this is what your up against if the worst happens. Dont want to rain on what your doing but this is my reallity in the UK. Regards,Tim

[@65Coasty]

Great vid guys. I use them at work every day but I'm hangin' to get one in my shed someday. I've been checking out Joels too.

[@bstaustralia346]

I bought a 2 post of Joel near 3 years ago, to date best thing I have bought. I didn't get the instruction about greasing the columns but worked it out a year later when the hoist juddered like... scary. Otherwise would buy another from Joel. Good fun putting it up, like you say, a few mates helps with the lift AND the confidence to drill big holes in the concrete...(right through). Great channel, thanks.

[@jaybloggs8699]

How about an Aussie Molnar... maybe one of the companies that didn't reply? Name and shame... The Joels garage one looks the biz though 👌🏼

[@aaronnoyb]

Maybe the others didn't like being asked for a free hoist.

[@DATONALKY]

The old 2 poist host 🤣

[@TorqHub]

Glad I'm not the only one who got a chuckle out of that 😂

[@shortanoar]

Got a big old Molnar four poster at my panel shop that I've owned for 25 yrs so here's a couple of tips for Aussies not sure about other countries though ,if you employ staff do not install it yourself get a pro in saves a law suit if things turn to shit also they need to be certified every five years this helps with your insurance if a car comes off, they will cover stupidity but will wipe you if it hasn't been "serviced " regularly ,cover your arse they can be deadly to life and your business

[@weldingempire]

Thanks a lot for posting such a helpful video. I will use Joels Garage Gear, cheers guys. Awesome channel.

[@lauchlanmenegon5916]

the 3 piece and 2 peice arms extend to the same length ....i would of thought the 3 place being shorter when pushed in would go under the front of the car as the car usually sits slightly further backward on a hoist to compensate for engine trans weight

[@peterlestrange9392]

I will be purchasing a hoist from Joel after watching this clip, thank you

[@paulcoote3094]

I think you put the crossbar on backwards. Aren't the crossbar end hydraulic hose guides meant to angle the other way from the pump????

[@lauchlanmenegon5916]

The instructions on that part are not very clear

[@jase_drifter]

good job broomie, if only things like this were around back when i was doing my old car ( JASRX )

[@atomichurley]

what is the width of the shed?

[@cruxinterfaces]

Clean Install, we also have install videos Thank you for the content

[@JasonBolte]

Very thorough and complete video. I'm looking at buying a hoist and I found this very helpful. Thanks for posting! Cheers!

[@jw200]

Fullboost hello. How important was the concrete on the floor? I have heard and read that it's very important to have special harder concrete before installation. The usual concrete would not handle the load and it all may fall down and...

[@TheRealPatrickStarOfficial]

Not really a special concrete, as long as it’s 150mm thick.

[@lauchlanmenegon5916]

@@TheRealPatrickStarOfficial a lot of the hoist company's specify a minimum of reinforced 100mm 25mpa. But definitely the thicker the better. I'm doing a slab now in my back yard and putting in a 150 mm section where the hoist is going. Hope that should be sufficient

[@KGWmegastacker]

I’m currently installing the same hoist. I did a test drill of my concrete slab & found it was 90-95mm thick. The vast majority of domestic sheds are this thickness. I’m cutting out sections of my slab & increasing the depth. I’m also going to use a higher grade concrete as per the manufacturers recs. I hope u guys test drilled ur slab to confirm the depth prior to installing the hoist. Even a 1.5t car can overload a below thickness & grade concrete slab. There’s no public liability or insurance for a backyard hoist if it fails.

[@vongdong10]

Honestly that seems crazy cheap for what you get.

[@jungofett]

hoist ready for the RX8 with LS swap :P

[@beardedgaming1337]

at 20:00 you talk about needing a "hammer drill" then show how your drill bit has the fittings for a hammer drill. i have never in my life seen a hammer drill that has a different bit than yours. what kind of drill are you talking about that isnt a 'hammer drill'?

[@krashdown102]

a drill with a normal chuck, that has a hammer function

[@beardedgaming1337]

@@krashdown102 I've never seen one of those. The hammer drills I have seen and used are usually a few feet long, have Locking slots on the drill bits and function like a rotating Jack hammer

Why does Joe's equipment lift look exactly the same as my 9k 2post Atlas lift like 100% same

[@tonymontana897]

Great video guys. I just wished you talked more about dimensions and how to position it to get the most efficient use of the space.

[@cvytnioy56dvfuj4g7]

I wonder how they are with large cars. I have chev pick ups and Cadillac. I would be a little concerned on a 2 post.

[@peterdavies9209]

Did Stevie Wonder do Broomy's shed wiring? 🤣 Keep up the good work guys, loving the videos!

[@jbeam794]

Thanks for the video . I learned some things that never crossed my mind when considering my lift. :)

[@tinnedanger]

You are just justifying the two post that you have already purchased. No proper comparisons at all. I dare you to stand under the car and give it a really good hard shake. I have a cheap ( $3000 ) Four poster in a standard two car garage. It is on attachable wheels and I can actually move it with a falcon on it. I have a sliding jack to lift the cars wheels off the hoist wherever I need it. As for parts ...my chinese knock off, I just replaced the cables after 10 years ( got them cheap and quick) because that's what you do with a commercial one. Go to you tube and watch failures on two posts ....no thanks.

[@BackyardMechanics]

rob smith yeah, we fully should have purchased like 10 different types of 2 post hoists and used them all for a few months each and then just kept one of them and crowned it the king of all 2 posts. Could have had a knighting ceremony and declared it Sir 2 Post, ruler of all 2 posts. Unfortunately we have budget and size constraints so we just did what any normal SANE person would, and applied logic to our purchasing decision and arrived at this one as the best option for our garage.

[@mazcatii]

I'm impressed, no-one has mentioned the motor is out in the comments yet!! Insert LS/Barra commentary here......

[@st170ish]

Drill the holes all the way through the slab so if a dynabolt gets damaged you can belt it into the ground and replace it...

[@Brenkeeno]

Ever heard of chemset and anchoring studs

[@BackyardMechanics]

Brendan keeno chemical anchor is not recommended by the manufacturer. Very familiar with them. We used Powers AC100 to secure reo tie ins on our shed extension.

[@KGWmegastacker]

The manufacturer doesn’t state anywhere about not recommending chem set bolts in their instructions. The 18mm supplied bolts don’t have any specs. There are no 18mm ‘dynabolt types’ on the market. This specific size & type is made for this hoist by the manufacturer. Ramset state their bolt specs & the standards they’re designed to.
