[Healeys] EZcarlift

[Greg Mandas]

All,

I have been thinking about the Dannmar Maxjack for about the same price.  eBay Item number: 130448614134  I like the Dannmar because it reaches in from the outside but I'd have to reinforce the concrete in my garage to mount it. $$$$$

The problem I have with floor jacks and jack stands is clearance.  I have to jack the BJ8 up 1/2 way, back then front, then the rest of the way, back then front, for a total of 4 lifts, all after taking the license plates off.

What I think is cool about the EZcarlift is:

1) The feet don't seem to move while lifting, whereas with other scissor types the feet roll, making the EZ lift usable on any surface, including the crumbling concrete on my garage floor.

2) You can actually get underneath it.  

The EZ lift looks quick and easy.

Let us know how it works!!!!

Greg
