Quick Jack BL5000 for an S2000?
#111
I assumed the issue happened as the lift was still lifting, before the mechanical ratchet engaged. It wouldn't take much tilt for car to slide off.
You would think the design would involve such a leak causing the whole assembly to lower together. Hydraulics tied together so a leak anywhere causing all hydraulic rams from losing pressure together. To prevent this exact scenario.

Once the story was vetted and confirmed, I would consider going to Consumer Product Safety Commission if QJ does not respond.

Maybe its me, but it seems like setting the thing up would take more work than jacking the car up normally just to give yourself less access. I timed myself once and I got my lowered S on all 4 jackstands in under 6 minutes. Let alone the storage space needed and the cost.
But it costs more, takes up space and limits side access. If you lift cars often and not going to a full lift, its a nice treat.

However, as already noted, if you have a job that requires you to raise and lower it several times, it's much better than a jack and stands.

I use it for the safety aspect and because I don't have a ton of room to the sides of the vehicle for the pump jack handles. With the vertical lift profile of the quick jack, I don't have a concern. I leave my quick jack on the floor, under the car and pull them out as needed.
plus, its just baller to hear that pump lifting the car.
It takes me less time, and with fewer safety concerns than a pump jack and jack stands.

It used to take me as long to setup as using floor jacks, but now that I'm used to it, I can get the car up pretty quick. Where it's significantly faster is putting the car down and putting everything a way, it's great being able to put the entire car down in one shot.

This is the one I have. Bought it lightly used for $1350. I was able to do a header and full exhaust install with it. I can easily do all fluid changes on it. Probably can't do a clutch replacement though.
