Electric floor jack

[subybaja]

Yes, it's . Whatever, I like gadgets.

I just saw this, I don't have one. For $400+, I probably won't.

As per the YT video, it looks better built than I would have guessed from the Amazon ad.

It definitely needs adapters for Milwaukee/etc batteries.

The locking handle for horsing it around is slick.

Well, That's yet another thing that I didn't know existed.

interesting, looks like it take a makita battery form type

Really wish thes eknock places would just copy common battery platforms, make the yellow, red, blue, orange like some other tools do and you'd sell everyone you could make.

That looks like it will be in the garbage in 3 years after some circuit board fails. Like the first gen battery powered vacuums.
Also, No-go from me over the plastic wheels and skateboard bearings in them.

My 6 ton kicks ass. I've ran it off a 1 gallon compressor plenty of times I'm sure a 12v or cordless inflator would have no problem either.

How is the side to side sway on those?

No worse than any cheaper floor jack really. It feels like there's some sort of telescoping/scissor linkage inside the bag

I love mine, but it doesn't have a handle like that. The controls on mine are basically where the handle pivot is.

Still, love it.

Hey, that's a neat idea! My existing battery stuff sells an inflator...

The Vevor 3 ton is $80. LINK

Minimum height of 5.5" isn't great, but I don't own anything that low.

And does have stuff inside.

Sometimes you can find these for cheap or free...

My dad had one of those, when he ran a shop in the 70s...

Battery inflator at 4:00:

I've got a couple. They're ****ing awesome for anything they fit under. I'm gonna build a set of mounts for the girlfriend's crossover so I can use it on that too.

I see this as one of those good ideas that would actually be useful, but that the execution is infomercial quality and ends up not being worth it.

Best axle lifting apparatus I've ever used. It took up alot of shop space for how ofter I used it so it went to live on a farm.

I have never once gotten tired jacking up a car

 

[Etyler2]

I’m tired of buying batteries every other year and now that they are all $100+ each **** that.

I can pump a handle 7 times all day long and I’m just not that lazy.

 

[dnsfailure]

of all things that don't need to be battery powered, I think I'd say jacks are near the top of the list. I just need them to work at any time, I don't want to have to charge anything before they work.

get off my lawn!

What batteries are you using? All my DeWalts are 5+ years old and still working fine.

I don't see it as much as pumping the jack wears me out as being able to use it in close quarters where you can't get a full stroke of the pump.

A step up from Ryobi, and the LSA has worked for me.

Bunch of pipes nesting into each
other and grease slathered between each.

This is cordless too.
