I receive the following email from a lister that almost killed his dad with a engine hoist that collapsed on him. This known lister is an experienced mechanic, his dad has almost 40 years of mechanical experienced back in South America, yet almost sucumbed to an horrible accident . Here is the email and the pictures, let help the lister find the solution to this problem.

pictures;

the 3rd picture is of the same product advertised by the manufacturer

I personally think the 2 1/2 ton hoist collapsed not when he tried to lift the 400lbs engine but when he lifted the Burro piñata check picture # 4

Oh my God, that is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Who could POSSIBLY be so stupid??????

So can you see where is the mistake? is it a manufacturers problem?

Kinda missing some rear support braces there eh.

I bet he thought they threw in two strut braces for free..

PorscheDoc

Good point. They even powdercoated them to match his car!

haha looks like they are missing something important

Oh, no. That looks like the engine crane I have. I bought it from Pep Children and it was made by Big Red. I guess it's like they taught me in the military. "Red, you're dead."

No you missed it in the pictures. The mechanic didn't put the rear braces on, thats why the lift failed.
