What tool do you prefer to jack up your car?

[goldNSX]

I've received my new aluminium racing jack today. The greatest advantage is the minimum level of only 2.5 in. It's far more easier than OEM. Turn right and jack her up within 5 seconds, turn left and it drops down immediately. No false promise: it's really racing technic as far as I understand that.

What do you use?

Hi Thomas,

Nice jack ! Where did you buy it and how much does it cost ?

I am looking for something similar.

Hi David!

I got it from ebay.de see: http://cgi.ebay.de/Wagenheber-Alu-T...035934973QQcategoryZ82533QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Eur 169 seems fair but some items are sold for about EUR 130 that's what I've paid in a real auction. Really good quality, very low and no curbling.

Have a nice day!
Thomas

.... The greatest advantage is the minimum level of only 2.5 in....

I think 2.5" is a bit ambitious Thomas - maybe 3.25".
(Incidentally my apologies - I just realize I have that favour I need to attend to - had slipped my mind!)

You're right, ken. It's miscalculated, 8 cm is the minimum which is about 3.25''.

Be aware of the 1:5 scale jacks on ebay, i don't think you could lift the car up with them.

Good to know! But do they deliver to good old Europe? As the thing is heavy enough shipping will be expensive. May plan a group buy.

This works well for me:wink:

If you get a group buy going on these, I'm in!

Thanks for the link Thomas ! I will check it!

Me too! Much harder to cart home than a jack though, and putting it together takes much longer as well.
