Thanks forr sharing your experience with this lift. I have a quickjack and like you I still use jack stands as a contingency. Safety is paramount when working under a vehicle.
Awesome review! I've just bought this exact lift for my home garage. Having fully assembled it recently, I've found the column of my lift does not stand straight. The column can be straight if I pump pallet jack to raise the base 3/4 inch higher. It does not seem to me that it'd cause any safety issue during normal use. It is pain in the a$$ to place a metal shim plate or something underneath every time you use it. I wonder if you run into the same issue. If so, what's your recommendation? Thanks.
Could it be your floor causing it to sit less than straight up? I know the manufacturer recommends a completely level surface, my floor has a slight slope and I make it work. If I remember correctly the unit comes with metal shims or washers to level out the vertical column during install. Maybe you could loosen a few bolts and shim it or get someone to help say with a pry bar. Definitely your call from a safety perspective. I’d recommend putting a dedicated magnetic level on it, to see plum every time. Something I plan to do. In fact I’ll probably get two and arrange it in a L shape that way I don’t need to move them around
@@unfilteredjamaican3478 Thanks for your prompt reply! Yes, I verified my floor is level. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to shim it during install as the instruction manual does not call to shim. This is a mistake on me. Look like I have to bite the bullet and loose a few bolts to shim. Thanks again.
So I'm thinking about getting one. However it fits my garage but not the garage door. Is it too heavy with 2 to 3 ppl to tilt the top to fit inside garage then back upright once it's in and clears the door ? Any maintenence issues so far ?
For context, I’m a DIY at home working on a Acura TL, Honda Accord, and Ford escape. Using it maybe 3 times in 6 months for oil changes/tire rotation. Hard to say, but it’s rated for 6k and I don’t believe it’s marketed specifically to DIYers. I saw an auto shop post about it. Maybe you can find them on here and ask for better information.

I’ve always said it would look stupid if a car fell on me with jack stand sitting off to the side. Plus the added piece of is worth it.

So it comes disassembled. I got it done with an engine crane and my buddy helping. No mechanical issues from the occasional use
@unfilteredjamaican3478 When it's assembled do you think I'll have a hard time tilting the top to get into garage ?
How often do you use it? I wonder if it will break if a shop use it multiple times a day

How do these work with low-profile cars?
I don’t have any low profile cars and never put one on the lift. You might be able to use a 2x6 in that case
Excess cord is creating a coil,
What does that mean?
Man that's a lot of talkin' without putting a car up there ! You sure good at chattin'
You’re welcome!
