i need an engine hoist but it would be a waste of money for me to buy once since i only need it this one time to swap out the engine on my jetta. Is anybody in the norcross/duluth area interested in renting me a engine hoist for the week? Or does anyone know where i can rent an engine hoist?

thanks in advance

Most tool renting places let you use them for around $35/day.

Hope it helps.

Pretty much... I wouldn't trust it very much.

I actually have one that I would rent out to you. You'd have to come pick it up and put it back. Don't feel like getting my hands dirty :no:

Some AutoZones have them as a rental tool. Like all of AZ's rental tools, you pay the deposit and when you bring it back, you get your money back.
