Jack stands are cheaper, do the same thing and you can remove the wheels if needed.

As an engineer who is constantly designing in my head, bravo on realizing your design and patenting it.

Make a ramped version of these and you're golden. Drive up onto the initial height then jack them up further the same way as in the video.

Perfect. Now do your brakes lol.

Website tells to contact for price. That means they are high priced. Pretty easy to list a price don't you think.

When I looked at the video thumbnail I thought they were using coffee tables! hahaa

I own these lifts, they are outstanding from a safety standpoint & under vehicle workspace access. Highly recommend this product. Not cheap but you do get what you pay for and they are made in the USA.

Flat out...Jack stands are not even remotely comparable in terms of safety. I need this!

Great idea Im making some. Thanks for this video.

GREAT IDEA VERY WELL DONE - I don't get the negative comments, these do not replace jack stands! You would still use jack stands if you need to remove the wheel but these allow you to work on the car for chassis/exhaust/transmission etc. Jack stands could crush the sills if not properly placed and would be slower to then adjust the height. The suspension can surely be more trustworthy than a rusted out sill for example. I like also that the cars weight seems to be better distributed onto the floor and would probably feel more secure working underneath plus there are no jack stands (less obstruction) to get in the way when going underneath and scooting back out etc. It also appears that you could get the car higher off the ground than jack stands - certainly if jacking teh tyres you would need to make sure the handbrake (e-brake) is on and the car is in gear or park mode. I use drive up ramps but these only give around 9 inches of extra height and a few more inches is needed for good access. These make perfect sense people!!

Wow, I've spent the last 2 years designing a low car lift but this is way simpler. Kudos to you.

Very cool, I would definitely buy them, but most of the work I do under my car, requires the tires off. A jack stand like attachment to the top would be amazing! Great work on your design!

I hope these go into production sometime soon, I would buy a set of 4 asap. Great idea!!

I like how people think that this is supposed to replace jack stands...smh. This is perfect for non suspension jobs. like oil changes or working on a transmission.

What a great idea, no reason it should not be safe, if used on a level surface. Going to make some myself but with a manual locking / unlocking system.

thats a cool idea assuming you dont need the wheels off nice alternative to a lift in a pinch

I have a practice as a consumer: If i have to call a company or send away for free sales solicitation information to find out the price, i will never purchase the item(s). So, i'm assuming you forgot to list the price Sir? What is your price for a four stands?

Stop trolling me KZfaq you know I'm a car guy and I want this

I like it a lot. Being an older guy, rolling around on the floor looking for points for a jack stand is something I would like to avoid. Knees. These look pretty stable and get the vehicle up a little higher than normal.

I agree with some people that they are not great for most common repairs, but I own a mobile auto repair business and I have been trying to get a set of these. He can't keep them in stock. One great use for them is pulling a transmission out on the ground or doing exhaust work. Also you are lifting from the lowest point of the car so that automatically gives you an additional 5+(depending on car or truck) inches than using any jack stand because those are placed at a much higher point.

At $800 for a set of four, no thanks I'll stick to my floor jack and stands.

Jacks stands are cheaper and you can remove the wheels.

great idea for big jobs i.e. transmission, rear main seal etc. saves your suspension if you need to keep car jacked for several weeks

That is AWESOME. Alright that's have the prints. There's no shop that I know of that has something like this at all.

Good idea..just takes 4 hrs to get your car off the ground so you can finally work on it 🤣🤣

Design Issue: There's nothing to prevent a vehicle from rolling along - or off - the stand. Recommendation: Add some suitably-sized angle stock on both ends to act like chocks.

work with jacks and stands for 35 years unlike most designs this is a fairly simply and solid design on an old concept. the locking mechanism would be the fail point and as long as pins are grade 8 there would not be an issue unless wheel combo is super huge so it doesn't fit the stand lowering tire psi would help but then that would be a pain in the ass .. dealing with lowered vehicles I have to use multiple jacks that are for lowered cars and multiple passes to rais a car 2 feet off ground this would make it 1 third the time

Great concept. For this to be even better for most people see if you can attach it to the car in a way that you can remove the tires. It'll make your product 100x better

They’re ok but I can’t really imagine a situation you’d need them when you get can ramps and axle stands pretty cheap

have none of you ever heard of a hole in garage floor? my garage has a 6x1x1.5m hole in the floor of the garage, that is covered with thick wood boars, so no one falls in when there is no car in the garage, drive a car in, take the boards out, voila you are able to access under the car to change oils or whatever. i mostly do rust repair/ exhausts, so this is good enough for me.

Excellent, practical, sturdy and safe. Great innovation that really makes a difference for us home garage mechanics. Thanks.

This does require jacking up each corner twice. If there's a way to drive up onto the lift and still get a jack underneath it to lift the car higher, it would eliminate the double jacking. From the video, it seems to be more stable than jack stands. But it sure beats spending several $1,000 to install a hydraulic lift system. This would probably be most beneficial if you must have the car on the lift for a few days for something like transmission/clutch work or exhaust system work. Obviously not for suspension work.

I was recently able to see the major use of these stands firsthand. For most DIY'ers, it might not be worth it unless you do extensive work underneath. I own a mobile auto repair business and was able to fully utilize a set of these recently. A gentleman and I used the set to pull a transmission out of an E350 work van. He bought a rebuilt unit and we were doing a straight swap. With the stands, we were able to do it in just a few hours and he paid me well for my time. Having a van fairly high and a transmission jack made that job easy. He may sell his set and I plan to buy them cheap also saving on shipping. It would have been far more difficult on jack stands because you would need to lift the van very high to compensate for the height of the transmission sitting on top of the jack and then you are still not lifting from the lowest point. My friend and I pulled a transmission out of a 2005 C240 4 Matic using jack stands and it was much tighter and made the job take longer. Fantastic Idea for the right people that can really profit from utilizing them.

where can i buy these jacks ? WOW ...

You know, I was gonna comment on how shitty these were because we have jackstands (and like most of you are bitching and moaning about) but then I watched the video and realized how much ground clearance you get with these! Anybody that has done transmission work or exhaust work or frame work will see the benefit of these. And I have yet to see jackstands reach this sort of height. Swapping out transmission? No problem. Swapping out motor from the bottom? no problem. If he can incorporate these with some sort of drive-up ramp and integrated jack/lift system, he'll be a rich man!

I think its a beautiful idea to be able to work under a car.

I'm not a mechanic nor do I mess with cars, however this is simply a brilliant invention. Great Job!

Would rent them but would not buy them. It's a great idea and would have worked great changing my daughter's catalytic converter I just recently replaced but most repairs involve raising the car and require the tires to be removed. The most practical would still be a floor jack and jack stands.

Great invention mate. Always working the mrs., my own & friends vehicles. Got fed up with the jack & stands. Bought a chinese 3.8 ton 2 post hoist for 2200.00. Normal house hold power. My buddy reckons their crap, its still workin fine a year later. 👋 from 🇦🇺 .

Kind of a neat idea, I use jack stands but I can see where this would come in handy for tightening up suspension components with the weight of the car on the wheels for proper ride height. Most other work you use GOOD jack stands for the repair. Good idea for those folks who feel the car will fall on them when lifted.

very cool, but theirs one iffy area.... The pins.. All the weight rests on the pins, those pins better be made of some kinda strong metal alloy. the good thing is that once the car is lifted theres no stress on the frame/chassis of the vehicle. the down side is that its useless for any suspension type work.

Very, very cool product! Definitely want a set of 4 when they become available! Keep up the nice work

Patent this, market it correctly to the right audience and become a millionaire if you put in the work. I don't see why so many people are worried about it being safe, have it properly tested and certified for a high weight and you are golden as long as people know it has been tested and certified.

Cool idea. Always use the Jack and someone thing as back up protection.

Shouldnt the stands be slightly contoured to avoid accidental rolling?

here is a man that has a product which he thought would help out a few of us car guys, instead of saying hey guy where did you buy them, how can i get them, how much are they and thanks for sharing your great video, some uf us think to much in the opposite direction of inovation, creativity, and look for ways to kill the spirit of sharing, but I say Sir thankyou for your time to post this video, it looks safe , it looks great , and am am very interested to know more about them

I was trying to invent nearly the same thing last night. Yours is all debugged and ready to go. Nice.

i saw this on a mates computer and what a brill idea it is and simple so i made a set - thanks for the idea

Wish I had a big level concrete surface like that to work with.

The load strength is over 5000 lbs on each pin, and the are four pin on the stand.

Sir that is a fantastic invention, good luck with them ..

I made two like these back in the early 80's, but I used a short bottle jack under it to finish jacking it up. I think I still have them around here somewhere. They are old and the bottles started leaking so I stored them.

neat idea I guess. but what if I want to take a wheel off to work on the brakes.

Seems great for doing stuff under the car but any wheel work, suspension, brakes would not be good. I think I would prefer jack stands overall.

That's a great design. How sweet to have some elbow room when working under a car!

what a clever idea and so much safer than stands I'm gonna make same tupe but not under the wheels as most times I have a car that high I have wheels off

What prevents the possibility of the car rolling off these? I'd prefer bigger jack stands (which I have and give e plenty of room to work underneath). And as so many have said, you can also take your wheels off, which is quite often when jacking a car up.

also needs dips in the stands to make it safe from rolling issues...

I just saw another video of another stand. This one looks more stable. Looks good. It'll make it easier to crawl around underneath a car.

I love it , much smaller footprint than ramps so u can use creeper easily plus it's more secure

Is it safe? (i feel uncertain about it)

Great unless you need to take the wheels off or leaving the suspension hanging for any reason

Brilliant! Like having four jackstands under each tire. Ever have a jackstand slip on a frame rail? Yeah. Not a comforting feeling. I love how much room you get. I'd like to see anyone try to push a car off of these stands.

I think that these are nifty for people who do not feel comfortable taking off their wheels. This is a nice alternative to driving up on ramps and gives more access. I myself, do take the wheels off so I would just buy jack stands.

You made these?.....amazing! Genius!

it takes to long just to lift the damned car up. ramps faster & safe.

Might be a good product for Tesla owners since there are only four jacking points and you can't put a jack stand where your jack is. If only there was a way to buy this.

I use 4 six ton floor jacks, then put the floor jack under the area of the car/truck I am working on. Sometimes, if the tires are off, I will put them under the car. Sorry, I don't fully trust any type of floor jack, you have to have something else under there case they fail. Been doing this for 40+ years and always put safety first.

trés bien

Good thing i can weld... now theyre my jack stands.

This is awesome for building exhausts and or mocking up chassis etc. If you have to work outside or in the dirt these are safer than jack stands which will sink in mud if its raining everybody that mods doesn't have garages or concrete surfaces.

why aren't these at the stores?? like a Pep Boys or an Auto Zone??? I would definitely buy them.

Hope those pins are grade A hardware. 🤔🤔

Great Idea, I might have to make one myself :)

They are frigin perfect.....where can I get a set...

I like it. Simple but effective.

Id put jack stands under for extra safety.

$1,200.00 you can buy an hydraulic lift. No floor jack required.

Before crawling under I'd still put some kind of 6x6 blocks under the axles for additional assurance - just for the heck of it.

Best video, great idea

I agree with all of this. Though, I'm guessing these are more for underbody repair work or engine repair work more then anything.

better have your E brake on

No way to chock the wheels? Seems like a major overlook in safety. With these stands you have to depend on the parking brake or the A/T in park, not very comforting. The should be a lip on these to prevent a car from rolling. A really good idea, justs needs some fine tuning.

what it max weight?.. and where can I get one.. I work from home as my side job.. and this one of the best lift I've seen. will lo e a set (4) of these. this will keep work area can't put a lift in my garage this will work super..

One can only imagine its usefulness when the ground is lava.

That is genius.

wow, you sure can get the car up nice and high like that. I wish i had those earlier today when I was working on my focus, I was all cramped up under it, with my jackstands extended all the way up.

great idea!! I prefer to support regular people than big companies!!

They have that already. They are called car ramps. Beauty about car ramps are you don’t have to jack the car up . All you do is simply drive up the ramp and magically the front end moves up off the ground. Wtf

Don't do this. The car will roll and squash you like a bug. You also can't work on anything tire or suspension related.

Would be handy for a body shop. Could get the rockers up so you don't need to lay on the floor.

Yeah great Idea, looks alot safer than jack stands, sits higher and definitely gets the jack stands out of the way.

Outstanding....that way I can leave my wheels on

What if you’re working on your suspension?

10 years later , if your still alive il know its a good idea👍

Great idea!

Gullible consumers love these, until they realize they need four jackstands to remove all the wheels!

this is great for some jobs, jack alone will not lift the car this high

very cool, so much easier to do work under the car

Very cool improvement on the old jack stands, but the one on the front passenger side looked a bit flimsy so you might want to rethink the way its braced. I wouldn't trust the welds to hold on the bottom of the posts without any cross bracing.
