ive used the snapon equivalent, and it makes stuff really easy. to get a car up on it tho might require 2x6's as ramps......
any one have any experience with these? cheap enuff, and should last forever at the rate i use it.... (IMG:http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/39800-39899/39894.gif) http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=46604 |

It's been on my wish-list for quite some time already
But there's always something else that I need more urgently Agreed that it's not as good as a 2 post lift, but I don't have room for one of those in my garage anyway |

Last year Car & Driver magazine had an article about die-cast model car production in China. Pretty interesting. It seems that a majority of these models now come from China. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Don't forget too that Harbor Freight is liable, so it's unlikely it's that much of a POS. They are a fairly sizeable company, and I suspect some form of certification/testing is required by them by their vendors for potentially dangerous equipment.

QUOTE HF? Do you want trust your life to something a 10 year old in China built? I guess one could always make 39" tall jackstands for a little bit more support (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

Hmmm... Those Astro Pneumantic stands have a minimum height of 56". I don't think the HF lift goes that high. (I presume there are other mid-height stands somewhere though.)

Starting height on the lift is 15-3/4" Isn't that taller than the bottom of most 914s?
Edit - Nevermind! It says the minimum height is 3-7/8". So then what does "starting lift height" mean? |
