That is really nifty for the serious home mechanic. If my brother was
still alive, he'd have one. He also had the use for it with 15 cars.
Why 15 you ask? He downsized from 26.

I'll tell you what, it doesn't take 15 cars or even the need to be a very
"serious home mechanic" to have that thing pay for itself fairly quickly.

I just did all 4 rotors and pads on my Ody for about $250 in parts. Premium
rotors and ceramic pads. The average estimate at the cars.com Service and Repair site for rotors and pads for my vehicle/zip comes to about a grand.
Probably more for the upgraded parts.

I've got 3 other vehicles that will need brakes in the spring. At a $750
savings per vehicle, that lift would be paid for and then some. Yeah, I
know the floor jack and jack stands are essentially free, but the
convenience that the QuickJack brings to the table (driveway) would
sure be worth it. Just think about quickly you could rotate your tires
with one of those.

It's just pulling the trigger on the initial outlay that's tough. If my
2 sons still lived nearby and I knew it would get enough use, I'd buy
one in heartbeat.

I saw that some time ago and thought the same of how cool it would be to
have one. Then I read another forum about someone who made one for a
fraction of the cost. I'm trying to find that forum as it turned out
damn nice.

I looked at that one also. The set up time is a lot longer for that
system. It has to be bolted to the floor so a decent concrete slab
or pad for the anchors would be required. In my case, neither my
current slab or driveway could handle it.

The QuickJack is a much more portable. Heck, you could take it to the
disabled car and work on it right on the side of the highway. ;-)

For not that much more you can buy a "real" hoist that allows you to
work on ANYTHING under the car - and even allows you to "double park"
cars., one under the other. Harbor Fright usually has them for around
2 grand - less on sale a few times a year.

That assumes you have the room, both vertically and horizontally for
that type of system. My garage isn't big enough for any kind of lift system,
even if it was free. However, I could use the QuickLifts in my driveway and
store 'em just about anywhere.

BTW I looked on hf.com and didn't see any lifts that fit the description you
gave. Even their most expensive lift ($2K) is a scissor lift. You can't drive
under it and it appears to block portions of the underside of the vehicle.

Am I'm missing something?

I thought it was harbor frieght - mabee it was Northern Tool. I know
up here in Canada Princess Auto had them available - both Dannmar and

I'll give 'em that, although I don't recall how many times that I've
run into that kind of problem, if ever.


Second, it easily lifts one whole side of the vehicle at

I wonder just how much time it saves. My floor jack, when used at the
front or rear jack points, doesn't take very long to lift both front
wheels or both back wheels high enough to get jack stands under the
side jack points, even if I only need stands on one side. When I'm
done, I just roll the jack back into my garage. Storing that device
won't be as easy.

Granted, I could take it on the road as an emergency jack, something
I don't do with my floor jack. On the other hand, I wonder if it
*requires* jack stands, something I rarely have with me on the road.

Does it stay inflated long enough to change a tire? Do have to
keep the engine running to keep it inflated? Does it have a check
valves or pressure relieve valve?

Best of all, the low pressure bag doesn't
require placement on normal jacking points so you more freedom to lift
where you want and then place jack stands exactly where you need them.

I wonder what happens if the bag comes in contact with the hot
exhaust system. I wonder if it could exert pressure on things that
shouldn't be exerted on, like brake lines, etc.

The military and emergency services have apparently been using jacks
of this type for years, so the idea isn't just full of hot air. "

This jack or "jacks of this type". That could be 2 very, very different
things.

Anyway, after typing this post, I found this, which answers some of
my questions. I won't be buying one any time soon.

We did practice with those, when I was volunteer FF.
I even had a bumper sticker "Firefighters get it up

Now I'm over 50, and I get it up seldom. Have to take
it to a shop and put it on the lift.

It uses compressed air not exhaust gad. Has a sizable manifold to control
the direction of the force. Steel reinforced rubber bladders.

The link I posted, for one example, used a connection to the tailpipe.

Monster was talking about the fire dept air bags.

But he said "exhaust inflatable bag jacks". No worry though...

We all know.

However, I could use the QuickLifts in my driveway and
store 'em just about anywhere.


Is your driveway concrete and has no slope? BZZT next contestant.

You should do some reading. QuickLifts can be used on asphalt or even dirt.

My driveway has no slope.

Good, nah I didn't read it. I need 4wd to get up my driveway.

If you are not going to inform yourself about the subject matter, why do you
feel the need to throw out veiled insults?

Who's the "BZZT next contestant" now?

Some of the highway rescue units do use exhaust inflated "upset bags"
to right overturned rigs.

Not in my experience, they all use compressed air. There are compressors and
air bottles on trucks. I don't know how they would attach to a trucks
exhaust because they have drive away connections in the stations to keep
nasty stuff under control.

I also think the bags would degrade with diesel exhaust trapped in them...

It's been awhile but I'm willing to learn.
