Awesome. Please post pics.

 

have not done my clutch yet but still plenty of space to do so.

 

I have a wooden patent myself rofl. Always nice to have one with a weight limit well above your needs even though you can usually push it to the limit safely. I've actually been looking at one for some time, I can't afford them rn but a guy can dream huh? Just another thing to save for but a very tastefully addition to any garage, naturally.

 

i have the quick jack 5000... it works well but regret not spending a little more on a mid rise as i have enough garage ceiling height. also would NOT trust it to do a transmission or any other repair that would require being underneath it other than maybe an oil change. it does not have the stability of jack stands and i have seen them slip out from underneath a vehicle. I have considered welding together a brace that connects the 2 sides so it has increased stability but have not had the time to do that yet.

 

i've used my quickjack on a GX470 and it held it fine. I suggest you use the frame rails for pick up points if you are worried about them slipping out. Also, using the rubber blocks would definitely help prevent the slipping btw.

 

Eh... If you're using it right, it's much more stable than a set of jack stands!

 

I have the Quick Jack 5000 as well as the EXT add on rails (needed for TL). I've put both my S2000 and TL up on them and tried to move each car when at full height and it was solid. I couldn't even make the car rock putting my full 250lbs body weight into it. I do have g-floor ribbed flooring down covering the cement but I don't think it would slide on the cement either.

 

this is factually incorrect unless your using really shitty jack stands.

4 individual points of contact/stability is more stable than 4 points in which 2 are tied to each other. If anyone has seen a single jack stand slip, they would understand that if one corner on a quick jack slips it will take out the entire side

feel free to check https://www.autolift.org/ali-directo...rtified-lifts/ and let me know if you find the quick jack on there... They skirt away from having to pass real safety tests by classifying themselves as a jack instead of a lift

I own it, use it, have no issues with it, but you would never catch me underneath.

 

thats silly to imply I don't use rubber blocks already, also silly to assume that I was the one operating a quick jack when it slipped out. My neighbor ended up with 4k in body damage and a trip to the hospital. I warned him it was going to happen, and when it did I was not surprised. It was 100% user error. But it would not have occurred with regular jack stands and the room for user error is higher on a quick jack than it is on regular jack stands

 

maybe if i explain what I saw happen, you might understand the point im trying to make

My neighbor who bought a quick jack after he saw mine was picking up his toyota camry. He set up both quick jacks under the frame rails, put the blocks on the quick jack but he did not do a good enough job to make sure the quick jack was straight. it was off by about 1.5-2 inches front to back. I told him about it, and he insisted it would be fine. He proceeded to pick up his vehicle. The right rear block made contact with the pinch well toward the inside of the block and the front made contact with the center of the block. as the vehicle was reaching full height the right rear tipped in causing the entire passenger side jack to collapse inwards. As this occured the passenger side of the vehicle completely hit the ground and the vehicle was at such a wide angle that the drivers side, which he was standing next to, flew up from underneath his vehicle and with such velocity that it hit him on his shin it shattered his leg.

was it a freak accident? yes. was it user error? yes. could it have been avoidable? yes. however, if he had it on separate jack stands since they are individually centered it would not have occurred.

I use mine so often that i purchased an automotive cart and modified to move he hydraulic unit along with all the blocks and hoses throughout my home garage so i can pick up a vehicle in any bay. And again im not advocating its a bad investment. Or even that its unsafe. Just merely stating I would never be caught dead underneath it
