Bendpak quick jack

[frankprozzoly]

I ordered this today. A little pricey but everything I'm getting is all about saving time. This will certainly make a lot of tasks go much quicker. I also bought one of those quick release nuts for the oil pan. Didn't put it on yet.

Post up pics when you get it in and installed!

Will do. Google it. Theres good video demonstrations

Oh your talking about the oil drain plug

[Marc Hufnagel]

Bad part about those that they take a lot longer to drain and the 'flush' velocity for the pan is lost. It's not that hard for me to grab a 14mm box wrench and crack it open for the $$ they cost.

JMHO.

I've thought about the QuikJack for a couple of years now, would certainly help with some details and definitely speed tire changes. My problem is that the small one isn't rated to lift most of the cars I handle, and the big one is too long for my DD's tiny wheelbase -- the car I lift the most. I may still get the bigger one until I can afford a new garage slab and a MaxJax.

Good for you on this acquisition... :props:
BendPak = Unsurpassed quality, IMHO.

It was only $20. It's worth trying

Where did you get it from? 3500 or 5000?

The bigger models frame length is 69" i have a Honda accord. 69 is well under length of my car. What kind of car do you drive

I called bendpak and they transferred me to someone. They told me to buy the 5000. The 3500 is only rated for 1 3/4 ton.

2006 smart fortwo cdi, maybe 40" between the rocker panel jack points.

Lol I was gonna say , what, do you have a smart car. I'm not sure the 3500 specs but that might be short enough

Sorry i just went back and read this

I purchased the 5000 primarily for my 2006 Corvette.
I had several issues with mine. Bad cylinder and a bad valve on one air canister. Customer service was pretty good. It took too long to get it corrected as far as I am concerned. Free shipping is not "free". It will come by freight truck which added $200 to the cost. Even though I had it shipped to my local O'Reilly's Auto Parts where the store employees unloaded it with a forklift.

All that being said, I love the lift. I'm always tinkering with something on the vette and it is nice to have it in the air. Lift height is perfect working on a creeper with an adjustable head rest.
