4 post lift vs. 2 post lift. Pros and Cons.

I would buy a 2 post, more useful, they can be used for simple things, like picking a bed up on a truck to remove the fuel pump.

Local friend of mine, has nice garage which he makes a living out of, business licence, been doing it for years.
His 4-post lift broke a cable with a car on it, he got the car off with no issues, but the replacement cables for the 4-post was over $2000, he junked the lift and bought a 2 post.
He hauled the 4-post to the junkyard, in hindsight, I should have got it off him and fixed it.
Backyard buddy is what im using. $758 usd for 4 new cables.

I had one made here in canada for 350. Got me up and running in a week.
I have lifted a box off with the 4 post. 4 ratchets and up it went.
Shop crane will pick a box up, and it will lift a cab too.
