    QIICKJACK CAR LIFT ?

    the lifts both store under my car when collapsed....the only thing taking up floor space is the electric motor / hyd pump and that is smaller than a floor jack. I can pull my car in the garage, position my lifts and raise my car up in maybe a minute...you aren’t doing that with a jack and...

    Harbor Freight 6000 Lb. Capacity Scissor Lift Review, Central Hydraulics, is it worth it?

    I have one I bought about 5 years ago from a local vendor...(probably from the same Chinese factory....) 110V, works fine for my Duster....probably be a little sketchy on a 1/2 ton or bigger truck / Suburban... I would definitely want some jack stands under anything large.

    HF roller cabinet longevity

    It was good when I was in it; HF and the internet weren't around when I started....lol. As the cost to enter the business has escalated to absurd I wouldn't want to start up a new tool route with a heavy debt load now.......

    HF roller cabinet longevity

    My MAC boxes are 33 years old and going strong.... From my time in the tool business I can tell you if they sit in one place rather than rolled all over the shop they will last longer.

    Effn "hardware stores"

    The last true hardware store by me was bought out by Ace last year, all of the employees have quit and they don't have near the number unique items in stock any longer. I understand it is simple economics because they don't have the sales volume of those items.

    Drive on Lift for the Garage

    I like this a lot, it cost me about $1300 and will raise the car up four feet....... I would have rather had a 2 post lift but don't have the ceiling height for that.

    http://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/ The model number is MR6K-48 It cost me $1350, I picked it up in person so there was no shipping. They had a warehouse about 50 miles from me. They were very good to deal with and quickly handled a hose / connector fitting issue.
