Bought a cheap drywall lift from an online ad and it cost me a full day's pay
I saw a lift for $200 less than the usual brand and thought I was getting a deal. The thing bent on the first big ceiling board I put on it, and the board cracked when it fell. I lost the cost of the sheet and had to stop the job for half a day to go rent a proper lift. All told, that 'bargain' cost me about $400 in lost time and materials. Never again. What's a lift brand you guys actually trust that won't break the bank?

The Genie XT is the one I've seen on most job sites. It's not the cheapest, but it's built like a tank. I've loaded full 5/8" fire-rated sheets on it with no issues.
