It's possible; for my Healeys, I put the QJ rubber blocks under the
chassis, then lower the rear springs and front A-arms on jackstands
(but only to get the axles back to ride-height, and I leave the QJ
there for safety). On my Mustang, I put the blocks under the seam
welds. You have the same problem with a floor jack, which moves as
you lower it, but it's not as pronounced.<br>

It is possible to use it to put the car on jack stands?
Everything
I see shows the car lifted and then it stays on the quickjacks for
the
duration of the work. It looks like they make the appropriate
jack
stand spots inaccessible. I guess it depends on the vehicle. <br>

I have one of the 5,000lb models (Costco had them on sale for
less than
$1K a while back). They work as advertised, but there's one
quirk: since
they're parallelogram-shaped, the platform moves forward as
they're
lowered. This makes it a bit tricky to place jackstands as the
car moves
forward as it's lowered.<br>
<br>
Maybe they should call them "QuirkJack?"<br>

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. There should be some sort
of
electric alternative, perhaps using one of the common battery
packs like
Milwaukee. But as you found, apparently no such thing exists
yet. As for the Quickjack, those are definitely clever. One
concern is the way they describe the sizing based on the kind
of
car. I wonder if there is a model that can handle both a
small car
like a Miata and a large SUV. I am not buying a selection of
these
things! Also, I can currently lift a project car for long
term work
and then jack up another car for an oil change or brake job.
I
guess I would still need a jack and stands for that scenario.
They
do look nice, though, and they would probably be very useful
for most
situations. <br>

Pneumatics seem to be fading away. I did find a bunch of
crap, mostly for
roadside emergencies that wouldn't fit under sports cars.
Sadly nothing
approaching the version in my head.<br>
