Quickjacks are great! Different tools for different applications. MyLiftstands are portable and great for people that don't have access to garage where they can install a Quickjack, Maxjax or Bendpak. MyLiftstand wheel cribs give up to 24" of clearance like Quickjacks, but you have full side access with the MyLiftstands. But hopefully, we can get the pricing down to $300-$400 for a set in a few years when sales volume goes up.

@michael j Like I said, it was a joke, and was supposed to be taken light-heartedly. On a serious note though, it would be a lot more practical to jack it up on the frame or on the pinch-weld between the tires, and as close to the tires as possible. That way you can do stuff like transmissions, exhaust, fuel systems, and still would be able to remove your wheels to do brakes, steering, and suspension jobs as well. Not saying it wasn't a clever little build. Just kind of inefficient.

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.

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!!

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 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.

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.

@David Stone the best way to jack up the car is using 4 high lift jack stands rated at 3.5 ton or more. The car is a lot higher than a normal jack stand but the high lift have a much wider base, making them safe to use. Just for extra precaution, I put all four tires under the car when I'm working under it. This method Worked beautifully on a 2007 Toyota Avalon that needed an oil line replacement. Had to take the passenger wheel off to get to a couple bolts. These stands would have hindered that repair.

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.

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.

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.

nice! I gota Saleen, and just love when the car is up on a proper lift. I dont like particularly jacking the car up too high with a single jack, thinking ill damage something of even blow a few welds which did happen once 'heard a loud metalic pop. so getting the car up evenly is important.

This is a great idea and I am purchasing a set of lifts soon. These will be great for checking / cleaning my fuel filter, changing oil and filter, cleaning the undercarriage and wiping down the exhaust. For tire rotations and wheel cleanings I would just jack the car up the conventional way. This is totally worth it for those that don't have room for a full blown lift and is cheaper than race ramps. Driving on those ramps can be tricky with lowered cars as well. Race Ramps are great but just too expensive.
