Are Quickjacks Worth It?

Since we're going to be working on the cars in the garage now, I picked up a set of Quickjacks to make things a bit easier! They're so much more convenient than a traditional jack and jack stands. They also raise the car higher so we have more room to work!

Fun Tip: I welded little caster wheels on mine so they slide around the garage and under the car easily when FULLY down. The moment they lift up a little the wheels lift up too so they are planted. I also know visually how far they need to be and I can place them under my car with just my toe and then boom, up the car goes. I'm sort of surprised they don't come with this option considering how much easier it makes things.

Definitely a handy gadget. I wouldn't call it "affordable", but I do think the price is reasonable. Part of the reason I quit doing my own work on my cars is that it's gotten more difficult lately to be that close to the ground. Lifting the cars higher could get me back to doing my own work... which means the thing could pay for itself in repair bills I'm not having to pay.

@acdii Жыл бұрын

Two things not mentioned, Do not drive over these like you would a ramp lift, you will damage them, second, as the vehicle rises it also moves forward, so make sure you aren't up against anything in the front or rear (depending on how you put the jacks, they work either direction). I have the heavier set of these, 7K or so and have actually used then to lift an RV trailer. The tongue jack had a wheel on it and I put these under the two axles and just lifted it right up. Made it SO easy to take the wheels off and do a full brake and bearing inspection. Used them on the F-150 I had, but they won't work on my F-450 I have now, 9800 pounds is a bit heavy for them. Rock solid for anything under 7K. There are also spacers you can get for high clearance vehicles.

@k1sfd1974 Жыл бұрын

Don’t know if someone else posted about this, or if you’ll see it, but if you hook that propane heater up to a 100lb bottle (skinny & tall) versus the 25lb bottle (grill bottle), you will see a significant increase in both heat & efficiency. I’ve used it in both Northern Maine and where I am in NH, and the difference is significant. If you call a local propane company you can easily pick it up yourself with that trailer & save the delivery fee. Hope you stay toasty warm ;)

@scalecraft4663 Жыл бұрын

I've had mine since 2015. they are good to have. If you get one, make sure it is the proper size for your car. Only issue is the cylinder hose on the side of the wheels. The hose drags on the floor when you move the lift around. other than that, works perfectly if no air in system.

I got some a year ago, they are handy. Bit heavy, I built a low mount rack for mine, I don't trust to hang them. Negative you can't lower car on to jackstands after raising. Cause the stands will tip do car is raised at an angle. I think tire Jack's like race deck with paper under neath to all slip on surface. (Take two tiles lay face to face with newspaper between, creates slip just like home alignments) You can lift by placing them across too, in case you need different access

I bought the Quickjack 5000TLX primarily because I live in Florida and wanted to lift my C8 Corvette off the garage floor in case of flooding. That reason served me well when we took a direct hit from Hurricane IAN.water from the gulf surged inland. And now that I have it I will also use it to change the engine oil & filter and the DCT filter too. The BIGGEST DOWNSIDE to the Quickjack is that it is extremely heavy especially when you store them on the wall in the garage which means you have to lift the frames in order to place them on the QuickJack wall hanger. A real back breaker! To leave them on the garage floor is not an option because they take up too much garage floor space. For most jobs I prefer to use the awesome JackPoint Jackstands. So easy to use and convenient too.

I bought a pair when they first came out. They worked ok but after a year or so the cylinders gave problems. Took them to a local shop, had them rebuilt for $150 total. The tech said the seals were very poor quality. I think they are better now. The safety locks were just square tubing not the cool system they have now. The last issue was the quick disconnects, these ones look like a huge upgrade. I had my 1971 Triumph TR6 on them for one winter while I did a ton of body work and no issues. The current ones look to be great .
