    I have 2 pins now and was wondering if this might work? It's on sale for less than this web site. Thanks

    I have one - it's kinda... meh.
    - but it does work.

    There's a thread here where a bunch of others modified theirs (you will want to - the handle gets in the way)

    It works, but as previously mentioned, the handle needs to be modified to fit it under a pin.

    I bought parts to "modify" mine. It kept giving me issues where/how I modifed the handle mount. After going back n forth to home depot a few times, I just decided f-it, and brought my dolly inside the store. After searching for good solid mounting solution, and talking to different employees, I just used their pipe bender, and in couple mins it was ready.
    Its at about a 45 degree angle, but I wish it was closer to 90 degree. It works, but I gotta lift, slide forward, lift, slide forward, etc.. Once its 100% lifted, the handle can go underneath the pin.

    Harbor Freight Tools always has a 20% coupon, but they usually have 25% coupon on certain holidays.
    With the discount, these lifts are probably the best bang for buck lifter out there.
