    Wreckers: Do people buy them for hobby or use?

    the prices vary with how complete a "kit" you order, https://www.lodar.com/, and who your dealer is. I got mine thru bailey hydraulics they were way cheaper then grainger and others. Lodar sells a 24 v unit, i got the two air actuator kit, i think it was in the mid 700$ range (2 yrs ago)...
