i put 8 ball-bearing casters (5/8 inch) on them, makes them a LOT easier to maneuver. Also tied a bit of rope to the short hose so I can hold it off the ground while moving it around. lots of videos about the casters on youtube. Enjoy yours!
I have the TL and I'd say it's ok, but only if you're lucky and get one without a defective air cylinder. If you do get one of those you're screwed - the company will 100% not stand behind their product. They'll claim the air-assist down isn't "necessary to the function of the lift". Really? So if one side has air assist down and the other doesn't, and they drop unevenly, that's safe? And then when the vehicle drops to the ground and one side of the lift goes straight to the full down position while the other... doesn't. You need to wait... and wait... and wait for it to drop with no weight on it. Quickjack will claim this "is normal operation" and that "it will get better over time". If you invest a massive amount of time trying to get them to stand behind their product they will, eventually, after burning through every once of customer goodwill, send out a new cylinder. Yay! Until you get the replacement and the freakin' air side is literally capped off. Like intentionally made unusable. That's not a fix guys. Then they'll claim that the engineers decided the down-assist wasn't necessary and that they've changed the design on future models. But I didn't buy a future model with less functionality. I bought the current model with exactly the functionality I wanted, was promised, and paid for. Whatever. Too much time wasted on it already - I've written off the entire company as another skanky marketing hack with no integrity. I still have it in my shop, but the company worked very hard to make me regret my purchase and it low-key pisses me off every time I look at it. And honestly the setup is inconvenient enough that even when I do pull it out - warts and all - it happens very rarely. Only when I have a longer term project where I know the vehicle will be on the lift for a week or two. Definitely not for things like oil or tire changes. It's just way quicker to use a floor jack.
Short, simple explanation/demonstration. Looks really handy for those cars that sit low to the ground and need an oil change. What's the side to side sway like when lifted to max, pretty stable?
No side to side sway, although I haven't pushed the car to find out. It's quite stable. I wanted the 5k version over the 3k version because I have a Supra that weighs 3300lbs. A new Mustang GT weighs 3600-3800.
Hey Eric, great video! One question: do the QuuickJacks damage or mark your nice epoxy floor? I have the same floor and it's durable but it is on the soft side and I'm worried the QJ's might dig in a bit.

That sucks. Bummer to hear

They can damage your floor a bit if you drag them around.
@@RevMatchReviews I put some castors on and it's fine. Hasn't damaged my floor in up and down operation so far.
They would be perfect if you could drive on and over never having to be moved.
Indeed!
