Yeah, I bought all mine for $25 last January. New ones are nice. Linkable is cool. Unfortunately, I would not benefit from that feature.

Personal preference, I like 2 locks. The bendpak setup is very basic, a lever with a cable connecting both sides. My cable stretched immediately and didnt operate the far safety. Then I adjusted it too tight and couldnt get either safety to work. Now its working but still too tight. Really not a big deal but to me I'd rather manually release the lock on each side rather than realize the far end is locked as the car tilts to the side.

Just a reminder to ALWAYS lower the lift to the closest "safety." I forgot to do that once. Came back some time later to car "vibrating" on hydraulics! Can't be good for pump or seals.

Done? Garage shops are like race cars. They are never done. Agree with the other folks. Nice looking setup you built.

Every project will illuminate a need or future improvement. I just recently added running water and a slop sink after wanting one for 13 years.
