[TR] Scissor Lift

[Tom Walling]

I also have a QuickJack (tm) which I like because it doesn't take up much space and runs on 110 v current. Their website ishttp://www.quickjack.com . Also, they are made in the USA if that's important to you. The 2 platforms that hold the car can accommodate either the wheels or by moving them a little closer, the frame rails or the body pan. When you're finished, they can be either left on the floor to be driven over or leaned against the wall or hung up.

I bought mine at Costco on sale and it was delivered to my house. I posted a couple of YouTube videos about my lift if you want to see it in action.

It is not fully raised in this picture but there is plenty of room to slide around on a creeper.  BTW home depot sells a creeper/ stool that does both pretty well in one device

I find I avoid interior and dash work because its so low to the ground I struggle to get and stay that low for any length of time.  I already have a two-post lift so access to the underside isn't an issue, but access to the interior is difficult with the arms and post in the way of the door opening.

Specifically I'm concerned about the narrower width of our cars and that we can't lift on "pinch" welds like most modern cars.  Some come with arms and posts to select lift points, others come with rubber blocks to allow specific points to be used for lifting.
