What prices are you referring to? I just looked at their website and didn't see any real bargains. It appears they are a middle man operstion. They give details as to where things are made. Just my old 2 cents

try this site usa-tools-garage.myshopify.com , seems that everything is half price

Sry, no experience with them but agree their prices are quite low.
I saw mostly 2-Post lifts including a Bend Pak that looked to be priced lower than available from Bend Pak themselves but I will say I did not do a detailed model # comparison…

I bought a 4-Post lift from Air Power Tools in Garner NC. I believe you’re closer to the cost but they might still service your area…. I thought they had good prices and great service for me. Just FWIW.

Your thread caught my eye, as I'm in the market for another lift. Prices do look good, but......

Hopefully I'm wrong, but the address points to a parking garage and a formerly empty warehouse. I make no claims that my quick search is complete or accurate.

Another "uncomfortable" item is the "About Us" at the tail end of the site. The sentences in that section look very much like the poor Chinese to English translations one sees in owners manuals of Chinese products.

Not trying to be a wet blanket here, but I think a bit more investigation into this is warranted. Perhaps any forum members in Philadelphia could add some additional info on this.

Half-priced equipment with an address listed as an airport parking lot. What could go wrong?

Uncle Pasko 73

And who lists their address as Philadelphia Pennsylvania 19153, United States?

All that notwithstanding, common sense would indicate that those prices are too good to be true.

Well I can say with certainty That I would not walk under, let alone work under, a $1500 10,000lb lift - but that's just me..........

I found them fraudulent!

I made a purchase of a 4 post lift in June 2023. I received an order confirmation. It never shipped. After several attempts to contact them with no return of messages both email and voicemail. AMEX found them a fraud and refunded my account.

I have purchased a used Mohawk A7, two Rotary SP09’s, a 4 post Direct Lift and a 4 post Nationwide (New).

Shop around. Sometimes you can get a good deal.

I tnink these are data mining scams. I almost bit on Milwaukee tools in a similar situation. If the price is too low, it's a scam to try and get your personal info. Just like a super cheap vette or trailer on Craigslist.

I don't know about usa-tools-garage but I purchased a 4 post lift from Direct Lift 15 years ago at $2500 shipped and it has served me well. I used to keep my Corvette on it most of the time so I could park a DD for my daughter under it.
One day I got a call from her that she had hit the right rear post of the 4 post lift and it was leaning. Yes the Corvette was on it!
That lift was so sturdy it held that position until my neighbor and I could get a bench and a jack under that corner and get it back level. I was still working at the time so it took me about 20 minutes to get home.

I know people want to know why I didn't sink rebar and bolt it down. Since it came with a wheel kit so it could be moved I didn't want put rebar in the floor in 4 places. If it was a 2 post lift it would make better sense but this one is designed to be relocated as necessary/desired. That makes it considerably stronger and more stable than a 2-post lift and I got proof the hard way!

And yes my daughter and I had a very serious...but calm discussion about not being distracted when she's driving the car.
She loved that Corvette and was really upset that it happened. It nor anything like it ever happened again.
