I am looking at adding a set of Ranger QuickJacks to my garage. I am looking at the Bl-3500. It appears that they cost around 1k.
http://www.bendpak.com/Shop-Equipment/QuickJack/BL-3500.aspx It looks like they would be easy to store when not in use. Thoughts? |

Love my mid-rise scissor lift. As Gerald says worst case you may need to ad some ramps. If your car sits low it is a close thing rolling over. Absolutely hands down the best tool I have purchased for my 914. Once you get one you can't go back. All the times I spent contortioning myself, jackstands & jacks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Wish I was smart enough to buy one 15 years ago

Save up the few extra bucks and get the mid rise. Throw out your creeper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) and never look back
Best tool ever |

It appears to be very similar to the lift harbor freight sells. I am not sure if it is the same lift but the idea of working under a harbor freight lift makes me nervous.
