My Hoist!

:laugh:

RCS'er took a pic of me loading slate and a holder on a low roof. INstead of using scaffold all the time, I find it easier to use a hook ladder or two, and stack the slate on holders when doing valleys and other repair work. I even have a few 'L' shaped pieces I drop in the rungs of hook ladders to hold tools, slate, or whatever.

This is a valuable tool for tile repairs. Sure it's just an extra bend on a regular jack, but after you learn how to use the weight of the tile to lock it in place, an amazing amount of tile can be stacked on them without any fasteners.

You friggin Nut!

Do ya ever work on anything LOW? :laugh:

I little puffing here too! :laugh:

I've got a hoist like that myself. No matter how I tune it up it sweats like that too. My scissorbed leaks hydraulic fluid and my hoist leaks sweat. So far neither has ever broken down halfway up.

By black tip I assume you are referring to their weight rating. I don't mind a blue-tip 16' but 30' and up they are a little woozy. Black tip much better (once you get them in place, puff, puff)
