This is a pretty novel idea. I would be worried though that putting that much back pressure on your exhaust system could be damaging...somehow? Anyone with working knowledge want to weigh-in on that? I'm not considering it, just curious about the physics of it all... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

This design is not even SAFE! It could roll like a ball. They should have gone with something more rectilinear.

QUOTE(3d914 @ Aug 25 2008, 12:19 PM)  This design is not even SAFE! It could roll like a ball. They should have gone with something more rectilinear. It won't roll if the other two wheels are on the ground and the P brake is set or the wheels are chocked. Just like any other jack. |
