Someone may have already mentioned this, but the foot pump is not at all for jacking up vehicles, it is only a speed function to quickly raise the jack arm into contact with the lift point of the vehicle, after which the handle must be used in order to get enough leverage to raise the weight of the vehicle.
Kinda pointless. Seeing how you have to still look under the car to locate the pinchwheld. Which defeats the purpose of the foot pump. Glad to hear that you can't raise it.nwill just go with the heavy duty version
@avguylyfe5837 I mean for me it works great got it for my ranger. The foot pedal works great because I can roll it right under the axle or frame then pump it to set it to pump up
You should look at get some jacking rails. Steeda or Ztek make a set for the focus. Both increase the area where you can lift the car from and you don't have to worry about your pinch welds.. I have steeda's and can lift the side of the car with a single jack and position stands easily from there.
How often does it go on sale? I'm 4 months late to the party but I hope it comes back around. I need one in general but especially for my wife's Mazda 6, they want you using the crossmember to lift the car up and no way I'm reaching that with a regular floor jack.
After long-term use, what is everyone's opinion on fancy colors (paint), use, dirt, oils, ....trying to consider color options probably go with black,, these fancy colors (green, orange, red,)After use take a beating and look horrible.
It's meant to allow you to reach deeper under the car. His other jack is relatively shorter, and wouldn't be able to reach a deeper lifting point. In any case, he's not using the long reach because he's lifting it from the side jack points.
@@darkl3ad3r I wish they would at least make a Pittsburgh branded version for $100 less, but they have not. I just want the extra lift height. I just cant bring myself to pay $240 for as much as I will use it.

You are exactly correct. The foot pump isn't for quickly jacking up the vehicle only quickly to raise up the arm to its contact point under the car.
I believe the foot lever/pump is mainly for locating the jack pad to the initial contact point

What does long reach mean, what is it referring to?

I hope it goes on sale again soon. I'd love to have one of these things and maybe way down the line grab a second one too.
@@darkl3ad3r H/F being greedy. No way this demands a $60 premium over the non long reach version.

@@Mach141 I'm staying strong waiting for a sale. They've gone for like $180 recently. I'll take that over $240 or whatever.
