I once loaned mine out to a mechanic friend that I worked with at the local Sears garage... I got it back and he pinched the handle slot closed is supposed to go over the valve for the cylinder to lower it using the handle as a pry bar...
Then when I was in college in Detroit, my friend Danny borrowed it to pull the engine in his 69 Camaro... Came to my dad's house to pick it up, then six months later tells my brother to come pick it up or he will get rid of it because it's in his way... (Not to mention that he loaned it to his neighbor that I don't even know)...
When he was in need he was more than willing to come pick it up, but when he was done with it, he couldn't be as good as to bring it back... :bs_flag:
After that, new policy - I DON'T LOAN OUT THE ENGINE HOIST!!! :icon_fU:
