Quick Jack feedback wanted

[66FBCharger]

Does anyone own a Quick Jack? I saw one at the Chryslers at Carlisle last year. I was thinking about getting one to be able to do oil changes, tire rotations and check and do brakes on my newer cars ('13 Dart, '17 Challenger GT). These cars don't really have a great place to jack them up like the old cars.
I'm interested in hearing what you think of this idea.

I am interested in one of these as well.     I would jack up most new cars at the lift points on the rockers using the optional pinchweld blocks.

I don't much about the quick jack, but I bought a used Snap On scissor lift for $1400.00 2 years ago. I love it. It's perfect for a standard garage with 8' ceilings, and it picks up the Charger like butter,

I got a scissor jack 2 years ago. The BEST thing I ever did.

I am also curious about these.

What one did you go with? Is there any thing that you cant do with it that you thought you could?

Can't work on the exhaust because the center isn't open. That's about it.

Good information, thanks

With that jack/lift you cannot remove a transmission, driveshaft or anything under the car

And that has been the sticking point with me.     This Bend Pack scissors lift looks like a nice unit and pretty low profile.    It goes higher than the Quickjack.    It's less hokey looking than the Quickjack and appears more robust like a proper lift.  But you do lose some access  to the center section of the vehicle.      On the other hand, with the Quickjack, you can get under the center, but it will not be easy to pull a trans or perform heavy work with the lift on either side of you.     All these small lifts have trade offs.  

Watch the video.  A guy from Moparts posted it.   This lift sells for about $2000.

Cool...I would love something like that.....just concerns me how close together the legs are at full height.....wonder how stable it would be. And obviously you will be wobbling it quite about when putting a high torque on a bolt or removing heavy parts. Would not be good news if it fell over!! Wonder if you can get legs that attach to make the base wider and longer at ground level for extra stability??

It is easy to go down a rabbit hole while researching these.

This 2 post lift is tempting. The price is the same as a lot of the scissor lifts and it has good reviews.

Looks good value...if only I had the space.

[chargermick]

I haven't done it but, I bet I could get the trans out with a little bit of effort.

I just got the Quick jack BL-7000SLX car lift for my 68 Charger and I love it.  It's an overkill rated at 7,000lbs but the car is solid when it's in the air and it can handle my truck.   It locks at certain positions so no worries about colapse and there is no sway to it at all.  I had the same worries when I first got it. It's also a longer base to accommodate longer vehicles so no sway at the nose or tail.  The middle is open and I plan on pulling my transmission.  The biggest part of the 727 bell housing is about 18" and the rise height is about 22" with this model so it might be a little tight but should work.  If you buy it around Christmas they offer $100 off and free shipping.  Do PayPal credit and it's no payment for 6 months.  Beware though that the finance company that Quick jack uses on its website is scammy.  They say that its 6 months no interest but the fine print reads that it is a lease agreement!!!  You have to pay another fee at the end of the 6 months to own it.  I looked at a lot of them and am very happy with the way this one is working out.  Anybody near me in Baltimore feel free to check it out lol!

Forgot to add that it is light enough in 3 pieces to move by hand and can be hung horizontally on the wall.  A friend of mine has an older model one and he needs a engine hoist to move it around his shop.

Thanks BrugeeRT.
That is great feedback.

This is the mid rise lift I have . Did some research , liked this better than the Bend Pak because of the lock/unlock mechanism . Very beefy lift . John , I got it local from Ray Jurgen in Bristol , they delivered it to . You're more than welcome to come by and check it out in person .

Great info all! It is appreciated.

Pelican Parts (Euro sporty car parts site) has a good deal going on Quickjacks.    If you are a member of Porsche Club of America, Pelican will give you a one time 10% member discount.   Offer is good until the end of this year.   PCA membership costs $46 and you get a beautiful color magazine called Panorama every month.     Discount on the 5000 lb lift at $1395.00 would be -$139.50 with free shipping.    Best deal I have seen so far.

I have thought about one of these myself but I am leaning more towards a four post hoist.

If you have the height , 4 post is a great choice , easy on/off , get the rolling jack assembly , now you can take tires off as well . Check out Advantage Lifts , seen their 4 post in person , very well built ( same concept as Backyard Buddy ) , but way less $$$$$$ .

Paul,
I'd like to check your lift(s) out. I think I need to just bite the bullet and put a twin post in the garage.
