I have used the nifty lift on several projects to hoist timber trusses, posts, beams, steel among other things to elevated places that men on scaffolding can’t achieve or the use of a machine due to limitations of space or location. It certainly has changed the way I can build and my process into a more efficient manor. I also got spare rope and it is incredibly versatile for rigging and anchor points especially in tight spaces. The compactness of the blocks and how small but strong the rope is is truly incredible. I’ll consistently use two sets of blocks and hoist Timbers or assembled trusses close to 800 pounds, with 2 guys going 24 feet in ten minutes is pretty remarkable. I am loving the nifty lift my employees have learned how to use it and use it at every opportunity completely changing how we can build. An old technology that had been forgotten and unused in residential construction in recent years but this product is by far the best on the market.

I have used this product for 8 years now and just bought my second one with a snatch block as a backup. I have hung multiple elk and deer quarters with this amazing product. It makes short work of what use to be a two man job hoisting 100lb pounds of meat high enough, so the critters don’t get into the meat. I also use it when I am alone and have to move an elk. I just find a tree or bush and hook on. This product is a back saver and is lighter and smaller than a can of BEER!

Hey Albert, Darin here. Just getting back from, and recovering from an epic motorcycle trip. As I told you on the phone, the whole reason I wanted to get your system was because last year my buddy got his bike into a difficult spot and horsing it out was quite a chore.

Well, this year he did it again. He got thrown by a rut and ended up with his wheels uphill from his handlebars, an impossible lift even with two guys. So, thankfully he landed right across from a stump.

I grabbed my Nifty Lift and, using the stump as an anchor, we yarded that thing around in no time.

Thanks for saving our bacon!

Your design is wonderfully compact and lightweight, and most importantly, it WORKED!

I’m including a couple photos of the operation.

Thanks again!

Darin

Tiny yet powerful. This block and tackle system handles the same workload provided by conventional units that are ten times bigger and heavier. I am a carpenter who works alone most of the time. I use the Nifty Lift to hoist posts and beams weighing hundreds of pounds all by myself. I just purchased a second unit to help me hoist beams from both ends so that I don’t have to spend time locating the precise balance point.

Great service and prompt delivery. You won’t be disappointed!

Purchased as a helper. I work on semi trucks, equipment, and material handlers. Nifty-Lift is so helpful in helping to replace Starters, Turbo’s, Door hinges, Drive shafts. The list goes on and on. So easy to use it to raise and lower an item and to support the weight while trying to position to get bolts started. Not to mention the many uses around the house or any where you need help lifting and moving things. So small and compact I keep it in my vehicle so it’s always at the ready. Also pull it out to help a friend and the conversation starts, also the ooo’s and aaahhh’s lol.

I must admit at first I was worried about the cleat on the side holding the weight. Now after using it. I barely even think about it letting loose. Such a great product. If your on the fence debating weather to put out the $. Rest assured it is well worth the investment. I picked up the Single pulley as well. Also well worth it.

I got the deluxe box and received the product a couple days later. I used it to lift a Cummins ISL cylinder head, with exhaust manifold and turbo on to a garbage truck. The lift itself went well. There is a cleat on the side of the upper pulley to hold in between pulls and the thing works. I had the cylinder head with manifold and turbo suspended in the air while I cleaned the bottom of the head before installing on to the engine for about five minutes. Great product when your options are limited. Hek, great product when your options aren’t limited. Thanks Albert.

The deluxe is what I purchased.When I received it, there was a fray ten feet from the end of the cord. After contacting Albert,and showing him the pictures. There was a replacement cord in the mail the same day. Excellent customer service for a high quality product.

I purchased the deluxe and then ordered the snatch block. I’ve used it secure my inflatable boat to the garage ceiling, hosted plywood into the attic to complete the flooring and hosted a 200 lb dresser into the back of my pickup. A block and tackle on steroids that is of the highest quality and design is an understatement. I’ll be purchasing more for Christmas gifts!

What a nice tool. It’s very well made and you can have complete confidence in it. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to take hunting, hiking and hitting the trails with the ATV. I’ll definitely be getting the Deluxe with more snatch blocks and high strength cord. Excellent gift idea. If new products become available I won’t hesitate to order.

You will not be disappointed, solid construction and light weight. This block and tackle is worth every penny.countless uses. I have served aboard buoy tenders in the US Coast Guard and have used many block and tackles over the years and this is a real sold piece of gear as long as you use it within its load limits. If you have ever been disappointed with the China junk you will not be disappointed with this block and tackle. My main use will be hoisting deer out of the range of hungry coyotes, light weight, smooth as silk operating. Just a note you can choice your cord length so you can increase your hoisting range. Extremely customer friendly and worth every penny. Edward Moore BMC US Coast Guard Retired.

It’s worth it’s weight in gold and then some. Get rid of the cheap one’s you have and get this this!!! I have one in my truck, boat and atv. You never know when you need it. I use it to hang tree stands, load truck, get ATV unstuck and more.

Can I buy this in Canada somewhere?

I live in Australia and have had the standard version for some years now.

I am trying to upgrade to the deluxe version, but am having trouble getting through.

Please tell me that you guys are still in business.

Thank you for your service

This little block and tackle is all I was looking for! It’s small size and powerful work load strength makes it great for carrying around with you whatever it is you are up to. I take it with me when while out on my snowmobile, and comes in handy around my shop. Easy to store and is extremely light weight. The build quality is solid as expected and once in hand you’ll know that it is truly trustworthy. Lastly, what better cause then to support the much appreciated war veterans. Thank you very Albert, and keep up the great work!

Note the link at the bottom of the review. Albert has really come up with the perfect solution to lugging around a big heavy block and tackle and recently he’s released the companion Snatch Block for those hard to reach rescues. You seriously cannot beat the value compared to all other snatch blocks out there. Similar sized snatch blocks are very limited in their capabilities and weight limits. This Nifty-Lift can easily handle the rated 1,700 lbs. it advertises. Skeptical? Check my videos on YouTube. Search “Zippo Varga Small Engine Medic”, then search Nifty Lift on my videos page. I lift a compact tractor with ease with this miracle of a tool. It’s invaluable in many applications, and the addition of the equally capable Snatch Block is an absolute MUST to go with you on those hinting trips, snowmobile trips, ATV outings or to just make loading a heavy object onto your truck bed or trailer….THIS IS THE ANSWER!!

The Nifty-Lift pulley is amazing for it’s size. It is really well constructed, and the price is a great value. I highly reccommend!
