Floor jack mod :P

[Damkid]

a few years ago i was working on my brothers firebird with just a jack holding it up, the car was on grass, needless to say the car came down but not fully to the ground, it was a tight squeeze sliding out from under it but luckly i was completely un-harmed

so my advice is the same as everyone else's, always use jack stands while under a car!

I use stands and a few wheel/tires laying under the car. That way, if the stands walk to the side, the wheel/tire keeps the car from squishing you flat.

I do the same, except I use two nice solid cinder blocks

I have a 3-1/2 ton Craftsman with the rapid lift...two umps and it has the Explorer engage...$49...very stable...once engaged...alot of pumps from there to off the ground.

Frestiva....I thought I was the only one who did that....Every time I'm at the bone yard...I look for like pairs of scissor jacks....I can run two of them up quicker than with a pump jack and stands. On small cars once you find a place to put the pump jack...there is no place to put the jack stand. I have 4 of the old Fords truck screw type bottle jacks that i use with an air ratchet...quick, safe, and efficient for space. Brilliant video.

^ Ive got several myself, comes in handy for rotating the tire. For work under the car its hard to beat a pit though. The one in my garage below.
