I've never regretted buying my lift, a great investment, my knees thank me every time I use it. Even though my ceiling is only 10 ft, and my lift only goes up about 4 1/2 ft, still way better than crawling around on the floor or rolling on a creeper. Besides, at 6 ft 7inches, I'm way too tall to get any great benefit from a full lift hoist anyway, when I worked in the trade I always had to crouch or bend regardless.
