I am approaching the time where I will need to lift some heavy items. One being a milldrill and in a couple months my engine.
Harbor Freight and Aircraft Supply have several to select from. What are/have others used?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I'd just get any of them locally. I got my latest one from Sam's
for something like $169 or so. You want one with legs that fold up so
it's more compact for storage, and hopefully it'll have 4 wheels on the
ground even after folding up the legs, so that you can roll it around \
easily. Additionally, mine came with a leveling bar attachment so
you could hang the engine from the hook at each end and crank a handle
to change the tilt of the engine. This allowed the engine to be
angled better at different times to make it easier to get the
mounts/bolts though. Anyway, there's not that much to them,
so I'd just shop around locally at the farm & barn, Sam's,
Harbor Freight, or wherever you can find one that has the most
options like the leveler.

Harbor Freight has a 1 ton, folding shop crane on sale right now for $99 (normally $170). Looks to be as sold as any other. Just picked one up today myself.

Sam's Club sells a nice one for around $200, I think. Best bet might be to
borrow one, if you can, unless you expect to use it a lot. I would
recommend on that has legs that fold up because they can take up a lot of
space otherwise.

I have used the HF for about 7 years. I paid about $200. Hung the engines on
both the Glastar and the 10. It weighs about 175 pounds and I have loaded it
by my self (although help welcomed) into the back of my pickup for transport
between the hangar and the house

Pep Boys and Checker Auto seem to regularly have them on sale. I think
I paid $120 for mine, and it does fold up or break down for transport.
It didn't come with a load leveling bar, which would be nice.

Thanks all. Looks like I need to check Pep Boys, Sams, and Harbor Freight.
It sounds like a load leveling option may be something to look for as I shop more. One item it will need to do is to put my milldrill that I plan on purchasing in the next 2 weeks onto its stand. It has a 650 lb shipping weight so a one ton capacity should cover everything I intend to use it for. Arm length and height at max elevation will be something else I will look into when comparine.
