One of the best tool purchases I have made recently is the adjustable engine hoist pictured below.

Lowering the engine attached to the transmission and transfer case can be a problem to balance while installing in it's home. Especially is this so when the angle has to change as it is being lowered into the engine cavity. This time I decided to purchase this tool as I have seen it advertised at Harbor Freight. Boy am I glad that I put out the $30 for it as it made lowering the load a 1 man job.

I welded a 1/2 drive socket to the handle so I could use my impact gun to do the cranking when changes in angle were needed.

If you don't have one yet, get one. You won't be sorry I can guarantee it.
