Very bad idea… lol, wtf. Don’t use 10 tack welds to hold your fuckin car up over your body. I’m a welder, I do not co-sign on the “clever” or “welder” part of the description… or the “invention” part. Should be “dipshit makes weak ass jackstand because he’s tired of living”
"Tweaking" on Meth all summer, maybe..?! Usually taking stuff apart, but this one's got some "Artistic" skills! Definitely only for changing the wheel, putting on the Spare, but he does seem to have to get under the car to turn that pipe extension. And it takes many, many turns(the video speeds up the quickest), at this time. Almost just a blur..?! 👍💯😄😄😄✌️
That's cool and all, but here's the thing. For the price of materials and time spent making that, I can run over and buy 2 of them as a set. And if they collapse I, (or my surviving widow), will at least have a name brand to sue. Whereas with that, I'd only win a Darwin award.
Not if you can't get to the store because you have a flat, no friends, no neighbors, no roadside assistance, no idea of how to use Amazon, but own a welder and have lots of scrap metal laying around just begging to be used for something, and a lot of free time.
We use screw jacks with 100,000lb boats all the time. They won’t back out that’s literally all that’s holds them off the ground. Screw jacks and 2-5 sets of keel blocks
I have 6 cars. 3 are currently project. I have alot of jackstands. I used HF stands for years, then got a notice that they were recalling and replacing them because the teeth had sheared off on a couple causing a collapsed jack. I spent soooooo many hours under those lol. It was just a bad batch but i got my beat to shit well used ones replaced with some much nicer and higher weight capacity jackstands because they didnt have enough of the regular ones to swap my 12 stands out😂 win
Some kids had a flat tire once in front of my house. They had a scissor jack and was going to use that to jack up car. I made them come up to house and get a couple concrete blocks to put under car so if it fell, it would not fall on them. Kid could not get wheel off, so he was laying under car and was kicking tire. I got him out from under car and showed him how to do it. Sometimes we need someone who knows better to point us in the right direction. Welding this jack up seems like a bad idea
I hate to be that guy on the internet, I hate that guy, but, concrete blocks, I’m assuming cinder blocks, are one of the worst things to put under a car, the give zero indication they’re about to fail. And When they collapse they collapse fully. Had a guy last year went missing, his family found him a week later in the far side of his property under his project car, the cinder blocks turned to dust. Even using them “eyes to the sky” with a wooden block across the top they can still fail. I say this having crawled under my fair share of mobile homes doing duct work, but they’re meant to be supported by cinder blocks, the cinder blocks haven’t been tossed around the yard for years, and they’re all eyes to the sky, on thick pads, with wood toppers under smooth I-beams. So unless you’re talking about those 80-100lb solid concrete blocks we used to use to weigh down cultivator discs I wouldn’t recommend getting under anything sorted by cinder blocks not meant to be supported by cinder blocks.
Junkyards often sell the jacks out of wrecked cars for just a few bucks, usually complete with the crank, lug wrench, etc.. They’re properly engineered, safe, easy to use, powerful, and there’s a bunch of different sizes and styles to pick from.
No. That's a death trap is what that is, half of it was just tacked together, and the rest isn't rated for that kind of weight. Unless you're being sarcastic, which if that's the case then lol.
At least you can sue harbor freight, for this you just get a Darwin award. To be honest, I had the first set everyone had a meltdown over. For years never had a problem of any kind, I'd seen the videos of them letting loose and they all were the same, people dropping them way harder than any normal use. Ended up trading them in for the new sets cause they were old and figured what the hell, new sets and no cost. Never even got them out of it the boxes before they were recalled. I should've kept the original sets.
scissor jacks are not suitable for safety stands; jack the car up, place the stands securely, the let the weight down onto the stands. never work under jacks; that's how you get on the evening news.

1. I've never seen a screw jack with a thrust bearing. It doesn't need one. In fact, you want high friction between the nut and bearing plate to prevent back off. 2. Proof load of grade 5, 3/4 inch NC threads is over 28000 lbf. Corner of a pickup tuck is maybe 2000 lb max. 3. Requires trained operator. If you want to sell this to retards, sure, add a stop. 4. Not sure why tube diameter is an issue. Most house jacks are 3x diameter gap in tube. Only the bearing hole matters. 5. The only semi valid point in this list. A cast sprocket may have issues, I haven't worked with them much in terms of welding. If it's machined from billet. Probably fine. 6. Mild steel yield strength: 250 to 600 MPa, Rebar: 400 to 1000 MPa. 7. All depends on the application and forces involved. The construction has a solid column of steel from load to ground. Welds are for stability. I'd have to run FEA in SolidWorks to see how much force the welds actually have to withstand. 8. Lifting pad is only to prevent kick out. Load on any jack should be placed directly over the column. 9. Go have a look at retail screw jacks. They don't use hardened steel. Unless you plan on running this up and down 80 times a minute for a month straight, I'm sure it will be fine.
My father only had to be crushed once, too. Died when I was 8. If you have a family, please be careful. At least add some more reinforcement and welds. I think what you're doing is cool but toughen it up more.
Когда тебе из- за этой гайки с оборвавшейся резьбой прилетит, ты поймёшь (если выживешь), что сталь пластилин 3 не самое лучшее, что можно использовать.
I have a suggestion that you take apart the thing and put the threads of the moving parts under a microscope and see how much wear and tear has happened after first 10 use of this fantastic tool so that you can refine it.
The weakness is the nut: Those threads will strip out easily. Plus: The threaded bar is way too small in that tube. Even wind on the vehicle is liable to cause it to wobble and fail. Hate to be negative.....but reality kills.
If you want closely you'll see he jacks the body of the truck up with another Jack. He just uses this for the leaf springs to raise the tire off the ground
I made similar jack stands using 3/4 gas pipe and fittings and welded a base on them and they are adjustable the same way as in the video. But I only use them to hold pipes when I’m welding up exhaust pipes.

5. The only semi valid point in this list. A cast sprocket may have issues, I haven't worked with them much in terms of welding. If it's machined from billet. Probably fine.
6. Mild steel yield strength: 250 to 600 MPa, Rebar: 400 to 1000 MPa.
7. All depends on the application and forces involved. The construction has a solid column of steel from load to ground. Welds are for stability. I'd have to run FEA in SolidWorks to see how much force the welds actually have to withstand.
8. Lifting pad is only to prevent kick out. Load on any jack should be placed directly over the column.
9. Go have a look at retail screw jacks. They don't use hardened steel. Unless you plan on running this up and down 80 times a minute for a month straight, I'm sure it will be fine.
My father only had to be crushed once, too. Died when I was 8. If you have a family, please be careful. At least add some more reinforcement and welds. I think what you're doing is cool but toughen it up more.
The lawyers from Harbor freight are watching and yelling "Don't, we made that mistake before!!"
I feel a more appropriate song for this little short would be: "Dumb Ways To Die"...
Thats a true test of a welders skill too
I like how this clever welder invented the axle jack
Strangely, the inventor of this put out no more videos after using it the first time........🤔
😂
😂😂
😂😂
Q: What's more dangerous than a Harbor Freight jack stand?
This guy: "Hold my beer!"
My God man, you've invented the JACK, this will revolutionize the flat tire business.
I think my next toy will be an arc welder.
Когда тебе из- за этой гайки с оборвавшейся резьбой прилетит, ты поймёшь (если выживешь), что сталь пластилин 3 не самое лучшее, что можно использовать.
Бестолку объяснять.. он и разницы не видит между упорной резьбой и обычной
I had no idea the jack wasn’t invented until September of 2023!
Hahahaha
I have a suggestion that you take apart the thing and put the threads of the moving parts under a microscope and see how much wear and tear has happened after first 10 use of this fantastic tool so that you can refine it.
I don't have 5 minutes to jack up my car on the side of the road with a REBAR fabbed "jack."
Everyone is entitled to make bad decisions. Some people abuse the privilege.
Then there's THIS guy, making a career out of abusing the privilege. 🤨
Some people are idiots posting on youtube like you who abuse the privelege
Don't suppose we will get to see the video where the truck falls on him......
😅
Dead people usually don’t upload videos of their death
If he survives to post it, maybe
If his wife records it we will get a jrff foxworth "here's your sighn" moment.
Nobody intelligent trusts their life to a jack alone
What are the odds of getting a flat tire and not having a jack but you do have a welder, generator, and the right materials to make that?
Despite what all the comments say I actually feel like this is really genius and good ingenuity
That shows why people should think rather than feel.
The weakness is the nut:
Those threads will strip out easily.
Plus:
The threaded bar is way too small in that tube.
Even wind on the vehicle is liable to cause it to wobble and fail.
Hate to be negative.....but reality kills.
Harbor Freight in the corner like 👀
Didn't check the trunk for an actual jack?
Ha ha
No, he'd already converted that one into a pipe bender
@@Ricardo_Moto Yep. That checks out.
If you want closely you'll see he jacks the body of the truck up with another Jack. He just uses this for the leaf springs to raise the tire off the ground
@@rogrambo to continue the cycle of why bother.
Still safer than the harbor freight jackstands
It's a toss up: Which is safer:
This or Chinese made rubbish?
I made similar jack stands using 3/4 gas pipe and fittings and welded a base on them and they are adjustable the same way as in the video. But I only use them to hold pipes when I’m welding up exhaust pipes.

I believe they have those already.
They call them jacks. At Harbor Freight. 😳
I'd have more trust in one from harbor freight, despite their reputation
Only for you Muricans. You do realise that there is no harbor freight everywhere in the world, right? We have some other franchises and muricans are muricans I guess.
@@MarioAPNsucks to be you then
@OnTheReg22 yes. I am lacking in life saving skills. When someone says shooter in school, we don't know how to react. Muricans are genetically evolved. Shooter, move. Shooter, move. It is almost equivalent to the primordial urges now. Well, what can you do, we are not privileged enough to enjoy this type of freedom.
@@MarioAPNYou still have something made from the same manufacturing plant... it's just sold under a different brand 🤣 There are something like 5 companies the sell 50+ brands!!!

Trusting your life to 20 tack welds...
Priceless
Weather knows that this is not an invention it’s called a tripod and they’ve been around for years. He just made it really small.
1: 12" section of 3/4" threaded rod
1: 3/4" threaded nut
1: 12" section of 3/4" I.D. seamless tubing or equivalent
1: 3/16" plate steel coupon ~4" x 6"
1: random timing chain sprocket from the junk drawer
1: ~6' section of rebar
2: welding rods of your choice
1: cut-off wheel grinder of your choice
And 30 minutes of your time.....
Or..............
You could go to Wal-Mart or Harbor Freight and buy 2 for like 30 bucks. Then, at least, when they fail and kill you, your family will have someone to sue, so that you dont leave them with nothing.
With this guy, the welding rods are probably 6013. 🤨🙄😑
That's a 1/2" rod. I'm an Ironworker. Been doing rebar for over 20 years.
@@mr.g4516 Even more reason to chuck it under a truck and test it out with your rib cage.
@@MyMomsADadNow We'll start with your head first.
Truly one of the welds of all time
I agree, of all the welds I've seen this is definitely one of them.....
no doubt one for sure
He actually did more than one, believe it or not.
@@internet_internet we are only talking about one of them though... We will get to the others at a later time...
Wow this is such weld! Can’t believe
A cinderblock will get you the same unalived ending
The hydraulics are made and tested for a weight range. The heavier the weight class the thicker the threading is.
I name this invention a “Jill”, it’s like a Jack but a lot weaker
“A Jill” Literally had me in tears 😂🤣
Ding ding. We have a winner!
That was actually pretty funny😅
Instead of "Up the hill", this welder is going "Deep in ground."
Maybe it can make a Bud Light commercial?

I have 18v DeWalt 1/2 drill w/ a the scissor jack. Hook I made to fit the chuck. Using this to lift most 1/2 ton single corners for quickie tire change since 2003. Out last all my newer 20V Drills.
Cars literally come equipped with jacks already, proper welds and everything on them, too.
He invented the… jack? NOICE
