too many questions and video is too short. how do you bring it down? Will it work for an SUV for example instead of a sports car? Does this lift need to go that high? Will the underbody support without hooking to the pinch welds etc.

-It has an up and down button, that's it. -It will work for any vehicle under 3500kg -A lift can never be too high if you need under body access. You can lift it to partial height as well. -You raise it on your vehicle's jacking points, not the pinch welds. It comes with jacking pads.

why you gave this video the title: "stolen" ferrari in a forum you write that your aunt sold the car. so it was not stolen. nevertheless if your aunt could have sold the car or not. and even if you will find the car you may not get it back ( so I see it ) from the now owner because the car never had been registered somewhere as stolen

@@ShiftMotoring: if your aunty sold the car with the papers then the new owner is the legal owner of the car because he has not stolen the car. so the problem is an internal family problem. also the car never has been registered as stolen and I think it is so long ago that it is statute-barred so what you like to do when you will find the car? steel it from the now owner?

@@romanoschwabel3716 I answered all of those question in the video. 1- She didn't legally sell the car, my uncle is still the owner. That's what makes the story so interesting to me. 2- He reported it in Malta, but not via Interpol as he didn't think it could be recovered. 3- He just wants to see his car again, he wants to know what happened to it. He doesn't want to fight over ownership. You can't sell something that was never yours to sell, and that carries forward, so it doesn't matter how many people buy the car after my Aunty sold it, it was never hers to sell. This is how people recover stolen cars decades later (look at Quentin Tarantino's car). Like I said, that isn't an issue because we're not trying to recover it. I just want to take my uncle for a drive in it for a day. That's my goal.

Great review, best I have seen. I have been umming and ahhing about a scissor lift for a while, but ........................ still umming and ahhing. 🙂 Being in WA/metro Perth, the biggest thing is usually freight, as originally all the outlets were East based, which can make it far more expensive; but now there are a few mobs who have a Perth outlet, so prices have stabilised a bit, and mean it is becoming within "justifyable reach." Not many of the reviews look at everything. For example, yours is the best at showing how the safety stops work. My problem is space, I have a three car garage that has three cars and 4 bikes squeezed into it, and (as I have old cars and bikes) there are a lot of bits for them. I will have to do some severe shuffling and culling to find space for it. I also have the standard height garage, so these are the best option. I designed/had this house built, so made the garage as big as it could be with small workshop space as well, but suburban block, so was limited. They are never big enough. Anyway, still umming and ahhing............... but this review helps a lot in me getting closer to a decision. Thanks. 🙂

Looks great, (they look very solid when you see them in person) and he is only 5 kms away, so anything I want to double check I can go and have a look/remind myself what's what.

So you can't pull a transmission, Rear wheel drive, its not high enough to put any kind of jack to hold anything, as a 30+ year mechanic my opinion is this lift is more trouble than it is worth, when I raise a car up at home I usually need to get under the middle, unless all you want to do is work at a wheel area and raise it up and say look I have a lift. Useless.

How does it affect the pinch welds on the unibody frame? I would suspect that they've been crushed and rolled over because of the flat surface of the scissor jack. There's rubber pucks with v-channels to be placed on the jack points for minimizing that type of damage you can purchase.

They can be bolted down, mine isn't. You should regularly check any equipment, but I don't use it heaps so every 12 months or so I check everything.
