I keep seeing these lifts rated for 1500 pounds that are sort of like two bars that lift to maybe 18 inches. Made for a snowmobile or a quad. I figure a bar welded on the end to parallel the cabin longitudinal/sill and lift with one of the things on each side. Might back up with jack stands but it would end the dillema of I wanna put the jack stand where the lift is, and it would lift the whole car all at once.
So. Has anyone tried it and is willing to admit it? |

Get one of these.. I have one, works great. I just bought a used one just like that for $600 Jeff This is exactly what I am talking about except it comes in two pieces instead of one. Sort of like you take each side and put it under the car, and of course they aren't as long. But the build and mechanisms look almost exactly the same. The one that first caught my eye was at Home Depot (I try to avoid it) but the quality at HF looked better and so was the design. It creeps me out, but I have worked them hard and put em away wet and I haven't gotten an HF tool to fail yet. And I feel so guilty, except the American brands have the same sticker about made in, well not in the USA. |
