    human hoist

    saw this the other day and thought it was awesome - i asked my dad if he had ever heard of one and he said he just watched an invention show the other day and the two guys that invented it basically got shot down because it would cost way too much to produce commercially - but i still want one

    You are welcome

    Google "Mr. Lifto" and you will see I posted one of the tamer images...they had some nice close-ups, too!

    Back on topic...

    It's a neat seat alright, but wouldn't work in my garage for two reasons. I don't have enough room to move that huge thing around my VX, and those small wheels tend to catch in every imperfection in my concrete floor. I use a small rolling mechanic seats, and can barely fit in the space I have. When it gets stuck, it's easy to lift and get moving again. I suppose if I had only one car in my garage, instead of three, that thing would be great.

    The concept is WAY cool...on perfectly troweled corncrete...

    However...I can see that thing going all "Christine" on me, & catapulting me into the nearest garage wall...
