I purchased a Grizzly G9956 shop air filter, it weighs 73 lbs. I am a one man hobby woodworker so faced a problem to hang it from the rafters in my garage shop. I was at H.F. and found a $6.00 block and tackle that is rated at 150 lbs. Rigged this to the filter with some antenna guy wire that I had on hand and it was an easy lift to the rafters, the block and tackle has a MA of 3. Some work to attach and level the filter with the chains and hooks that I had already installed, and job done.

I want to let others know about the block and tackle. A light duty block and tackle could be very handy around the shop. I'm already thinking of lifting one end of may lath to get a 4 wheel dolly under.
