I needed two hoists like the ones you use to hang up and gut a deer. I saw
them on Harbor Freight's sight, but was going to Vegas. So, I went to
their store there. They were totally lost, and were hell bent on selling
me a $99 electric hoist.

I want these to hang up vertical 9.5' sheets with some degree of control
to get them on straight. So, I came home, and ordered them online.

I'm not a big fan of HF stuff, but for some of the cheaper tools, and
stuff that you use once in a while, they are good. I needed a 200' tape
to do some property measurements. Hoo, boy, are they expensive. Then, I
was at HF, and they had a fiberglass tape on sale for $10. Needless to
say, I got it. It is about six years old now, and as long as it's kept
inside, should last a long time. Others were upwards to $100.

I don't mind paying for decent tools, for example, Klein electrical tools
are worth it when you're working in the trade. Unfortunately many of the
tools available off the shelf locally are made in China and no better than
HF at twice the price.
