    QuickJack - for those of you wondering

    My suggestion to them was to provide a block that could do both depending on how you position it. i.e. one way with the slots on top it is for pinch welds. Flip it over with the slots facing down and you get a flat surface. Yeah the pinchweld blocks cost more to manufacture but I'm guessing...

    QuickJack - for those of you wondering

    OK, so it seems that QJ has been working on a caster wheel kit. QJ posted a comment to this YouTube video that they are now working on a caster wheel kit: QJ comment from the video: Wonder what pricing will be? You can fab your own for under $100 using 2"x2" angle iron, 1/2" threaded rod...

    QuickJack - for those of you wondering

    Ever wonder why the locking cam is so complicated with the lobe and the rotation/flip? It is because it can do automatic lock disengagement using the remote, but the current design only supports it on the lower locking point position and not the upper locking position. It would be really nice...

    I don't remember. I took the wrench in and got one that fit. I went through the sizes till I found the one that fit. They had black plastic ones, chrome ones, and black chrome ones. I went for the black plastic. I liked the look and it seemed to have the most flush fit with the tube as the...

    I have the same one. I ordered it about a year ago, and I only found it from talking directly with Precision as it isn't listed on their website. Not sure how people would ever know it exists. When I got it, I was disappointed to see the open end. If you look at some of the older photos of...

    Not sure about the new round pinch weld blocks, but the original pinch weld blocks are different harder material than the stock blocks. I would assume that they are made of the same stuff as the original pinch weld blocks. --- bill

    QuickJack - for those of you wondering

    I've seen it used that way, but I'd be concerned about cars that are not very close to 50/50 weight distribution causing the frames to rise or fall at different rates. i.e. one end of the car going up/down faster than the other. Check out this guys video: It gets "interesting" after about the...

    Mooser, Those are awesome. I saw your posts about them a while back over on the Corvette forum. I may have to break down a fab some up. ---- bill

    I sure wish the quickjack had the 4 extra castors on the frames that this version has: It would make getting it aligned under the vehicle so much easier. --- bill

    Just keep in mind that if you use the extension frames you lose 1.5 inches of clearance. On the plus side you gain that 1.5" of additional lift height. Measure carefully. --- bill

    QuickJack portable lift: $150 discount for forum members (expires 2/1/2019)

    Yeah I read through the full manual, and watched the official video which showed raising frame and using a block to hold the frame for better access and more room for the elbow fitting. But on one of the frames even 3 blocks wasn't enough, but raising it all the way to the first locking point...

    QuickJack portable lift: $150 discount for forum members (expires 2/1/2019)

    Got mine put together and working yesterday. I had to use a rubber washer between one of the feet and the motor to prevent the power unit from rocking. (I have the power unit with the green motor, 4 feet and no carrier frame). One of the lifting frames I had to manually lift all the way to the...
