SPECSTAR 1100 Lbs Engine Support Bar Transverse Hoist

Son purchased this and made his life easier. He loves it. Great functionality. Also sturdy.

Works perfectly

During a timing job on our car, we were able to support most of the work with a jack under the oil pan. But when it came time to remove the oil pan completely, a support was absolutely necessary. This one really came through. It was easy to set up, easy to use, and gave us the confidence to work underneath without worrying about the engine shifting or coming down on us. For a smaller car engine, it’s more than up to the task. Would I trust it with the engine out of a full-size truck? Maybe—with heavier chains. But for compact or mid-size car work, this is an excellent piece of equipment. The only real challenge is figuring out where to store it afterward. Overall, solid build and a worthwhile purchase.

value for the money

Nice product

I worked under an engine supported by this bar for several hours while I was preparing the engine for removal. No worries. The feet on the ends of the bar are configurable to fit many engine openings. The engine opening on top of my Boxster does not have parallel sides and this bar fit in the drainage channels with no extra work. The chain hooks are long enough to be secure. The wings on the tightening nuts are large enough to generate torque. All pieces are solidly constructed. Not the cheapest option, but do you really want to work under the cheapest engine support bar?

Do not buy if you are trying to lift BMW 6cyl in a 328 chassis. It won’t lift motor high enough to replace motor mounts. It’s a great product otherwise, just didn’t work for my application

It’s been a big help for the 4 cars I’ve needed it for, helps stabilize the engine a lot better than a regular engine hoist. Definitely worth the money, but I would say I wish there were wider ones available for bigger engine bays.
