I've got the jack and ratchet set. Now all I need is a well equipped work shop.

@stevenmoomey2115 3 ай бұрын

After the Jack Collapsed, that came with our mini-van. I ordered a Small Hydraulic Jack, even has a set pin, so the Jack can’t come back down, even if it leaks. Used some Foam that came with a Computer, to modify the mounting, so it wouldn’t rattle. Now Fits perfectly, where the old Jack was.

Great idea!! Another option you could cut near the end of the hook and use a battery drill. However using your idea for the jack and you already have the impact for taking the lugnuts off. I have carried a half inch impact with me for several years now and just make it a priority to check the battery level before I leave and always keep an extra one with me.

Another trick, keep a short 2 x 6 in your car/truck to give the jack a little extra lift, especially if you have larger size tires!

Wow! I had a Jack like this for work , I welded a 3/4 nut on the end of the Jack and I can use any extension with 3/4 socket or even a wheel wrench , ratchet, box wrench it took me less then 5 minutes to prepare and weld the nut !👍🏻👍🏻

Amazon sells this for less than $9. My local Home Depot has them for $14. By the time I buy a welder, grinder, sanding materials and dedicate time to make this device, the total cost would exceed $400 to make this item. It’s a simple project for someone that has the machinery and materials on hand but for many of us it’s cost prohibitive to make this item.

The best jack I've used came with my '73 VW bus. It was a screw jack that had a lug that flipped out and engaged a square tube on the chassis. It was turned with the lug wrench. With a 4-way wrench, I could spin it up and down quickly. Smaller and lighter than a scissors jack. Too bad no one uses it today.

@pedroi9008 2 ай бұрын

VW design and engineering were ingenious in a class of its own. I once came across a small solar panel (approx. 8"x10") on a plastic frame, with a a suction cup on each of all four corners on the front to adhere it to the interior side of a window. It had a cable wich ended with a plug intended to fit in the cigarette lighter socket. The whole thing was manufactured by VW. I suppose it was meant to feed the voltage produced by the solar panel in through the lighter socket and distribute it to different outlets in a vehicle to connect whatever they may have thought of to be used on one of those camper-like vans. So cool and unique, all of them beautiful.

Sorry folks - this is an incredibly complex solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Go to a junk yard and get 1 - ONE lug nut the same size as the ones on your vehicle. Weld or have welded - the lug nut on the drive end of the jack. Now - whatever turning mechanism you use on your lugs can be used to drive the jack. When we travel - I carry an electric impact. It has enough power to jack the vehicle + R&R the flat tire.

@@stevenpollard5171I'v tried it and it works just fine, but as someone has already commented, carrying around a impact wrench to change a tire is not necessary for most people. To me the ratchet is compact and easy to store and no battery to worry about . Correction: I tried it on a trailer not a car.

Not a bad idea if you use the jack on a regular basis but the time savings in use for the typical flat frequency would be much less than the fabrication time even if one had all the required tools. Simpler to twist the jack screw by hand till it picks up load and stabilizes the jack
