    Default Gyprock Lifter

    Hi All,

    This seems like a good deal.

    http://www.oztion.com.au/OA/browse/o...?itemid=271903

    I can share it with a mate. He'll need it a few times too.

    To Hire its $60 a day and I will need it for at least 5 different occasion in the next 6 months.

    Any thoughts?

    JR

    JR,
    see my signature line. If you factor in cost of hire & transport & lost time etc, it would more than pay for itself after one or two jobs. Only downside I can see would be that you'll need to store it somewhere, oh well, looks like a shed extension is in order.

    You can hire them for $35 per day from Bunnings - take off $5 odd if you have a trade card. They are really decent machines.

    Cheers!

    That is a good price for a sheet lifter. That guy sells a lot of lifters for around $350 to $400.

    They a great to use.

    Buy it!

    If you don't want to keep it after doing all your jobs just sell it again on Oztion. You won't lose much on it.

    Cheers
