      Where has this thing been for the past 6 years?

        Thanks for doing this review, I’ve been eying this for a couple of months. I do routine maintenance and things like brakes on about 6 different cars (mine and family) so this seems better than jackstands.

        One question I have is about using it on full frame vehicles like pickups. Do you think there would still be enough room to work under a truck?

        Now totally bummed that I can’t make the meet up….

          Eric,

          You may want to mention for people who have Pontiac Fiero’s that lifts (both 2 post and this one) can sometimes crush/bend coolant pipes. Not a widely applicable warning but it’s an issue nonetheless.

          Great video.

            I wonder if VW Vanagons have the same issue as Fieros with water lines.

              It depends on the truck but I don’t think it would be a problem. In fact it would likely be easier to lift a full frame vehicle.

                No matter what you’re lifting you need to be careful of stuff on the undercarriage. That’s why I showed checking everything before I actually started lifting.

                Besides, once a video is posted I can’t go back and add additional material to it.
