Bike Hoist did the job

On: 2008-06-10

No problems, quick shipment. I did use my own cabinet screws to make sure it was securely fastened to the ceiling. The screws they provided were hard to turn. Excellent product otherwise.

Great idea!

I purchased two of these because we wanted to get our bikes up off the garage floor (actually my bike was still in the living room from Christmas because we just didnt have room in the garage). My husband installed them without complaint and so far, everything is great. This is really a good solution to storing a bike! I would recommend this to everyone!

This is a Great Device

I bought 2 of these for my garage and they work great!!!! I bought these after seeing a similar product for about $40.00 and checked Amazon and found these for half the price.They were easy to install but I used my own hex head screws with a large fender washer----just for my peace of mind. I have 14 ceilings in my garage which made the provided rope about 2 or 3 foot short but I will manage. The device works like a mini blind, pull the rope to the left and the bike lowers, pull it to the right and it locks. My 100lb wife has no trouble operating the hoist.

A "super" hoist

I bought two of these and used them to hoist my two kayaks up to the garage rafters. They went up slick and easy -- and out of the way. Great product. Id recommend them without reservation.

Great for garage

I have house cats with claws, so the ceiling hoist in the garage is a tire and stress saver: easy to install (I used a 1 by 6 five-foot board to secure the hoist to the beams) and easy (actually, fun) to use once it is up. The line locking device was a nice surprise. I read somewhere that the screws that come with it are no good, so I bought new wood screws for the hoist and the board and never even tried the screws that came in the box. The one thing to note here is that I have only been using the hoist to store my mountain bike for about three weeks. If the parts or the line will hold up over long wear, I dont know. If freezing temperatures or the humidity in the garage will affect the parts, I dont know. I do know that not worrying about cats leaping up to bike stands to puncture rubber and not worrying about cats slipping out of the house while I navigate the bike out the door is heavenly. I ride more because I bought this product.

Adequate for my purposes

Pretty good deal for the money, just be prepared to substitute your own screws. The ones they provide are cheap and wont stand up to a power driver bit. I mounted the two pieces on a 4-ft board using bolts plus heavy screws that went through to the ceiling joists. Only problem was that it was difficult to match up the spacing I needed for mounting the fixed hoist parts with the 16" spacing of the joists. Still, it was better (+cheaper, +faster) than buying the pulleys and rolling my own.

Getting Organized

This product mounted great. I had to use my own screws. The screws that came with the purchased product were cheap and the heads stripped easily. Other than that I am pleased.
