Jack Stand Question

JARblue

I think that jack is useless. With all the distracted drivers these days, I refuse to work on my car on the side of the road. If I were in a parking lot maybe...

And for DIY, that thing is completely useless. You can jack the car up in 3-4 pumps with an $80 floor jack from Harbor Freight that weighs 40 lbs

"That Jack" Is Engineered To Lift The Z Correctly...
I'm Not Suggesting Any "Side Of The Road" Maintenance...
For DYI Garage Work - It's A Very Good Choice...
Probable Use It 2-3 Times A Year...
And It Fits Into It's Own Cutout In The Trunk!!!

Then Use Jack Stands / Wood Blocks / Cinder Blocks / Whatever

Believe Me - I Have All The Floor Jacks, Bottle Jacks, Jack Stands I Could Ever Want - OEM Scissors Jacks Work Fine For Infrequent Use>>>

Well, IMO it's not completely useless (but real close) and I hate how tough it gets to rotate it once there's weight on it (my shoulders are shot and I find it tough) and the handle pops out of the eye too easy. The idea to put a nut in place of the eye and using an electric impact on it is brilliant, but I would worry that I'd have to pack an extra wrench or the impact around if I could no longer use the crappy handle. You never know when you'd get stuck somewhere.
Maybe if the nut put on in place of the eye was the size of the OEM lug wrench it'd work, but I'd need to slip a cheater on the lug wrench handle for more leverage.
