Well, I heard back from the vendor about my shop hoist. The manufacturer cannot/will not ship the missing pieces, so the vendor was asking me to ship the whole thing back to him for replacement with another one. Laudable, but the cheesy boxes this thing came in were utterly destroyed getting the thing here the first time. His comment was "any two boxes will do". For almost 150lbs. of metal. Wow.
So I checked Speedy Metals for some 2.5" square tubing and asked the vendor to cover material costs for me to fix this. He accepted, so now I get to finish my boom for my hoist. But I'll do it a bit better than the factory...
SO glad I had that 1T sitting on the other side of the garage...
