Re: Lifting a car
At my old shop we installed a Snap-On hoist and I asked the tech what the factor of safety was. He told me that every piece of equipment is tested to double the rated weight before leaving the factory. That's Snap-On though, not sure if I would apply that same confidence to other manufacturers.
3500 lbs is pretty light though. I would look at something with a little more grunt both for peace of mind and in the event a friend owns something a little porkier and needs the tires swapped over.
