Hi all; The Backyard Buddie is fine for some uses. It is a ramp type lift and you must always work over and around the ramp. A real pain! If you need to be able to move the lift for some reason, it'll work for that. A much better choice is an asymetrical type lift. Avoid the hump between the two posts on the floor, get the overhead version, which gives you clear access under the car for trans jacks. I just had a flier for one mfg, and they offer a 10' verson for shops with less than 12' cielings, which is normal for most shops. You can get vertical extensions so the armswill reach truck frames and such. Having used this type for too many years professionaly, it's the only way to go. The asymetrical arms allow you to open the doors with the lift part way up, making it eaiser to work on the interior and doors in some cases. Most I've seen in the $2700. range are all you'll need for hobby work.
