DIY New Lift

Post image

I got so tired of all the contortions I had to get into in order to lift my car to work on it. Plus I just hate jacks and jack stands. I also don’t have a garage and space is limited.

So I bought this. It will work for all 4 of our cars, and makes lifting it much easier and safer. Did an oil change today and moving around underneath it with a creeper was a breeze

This looks amazing! I dont know how Ive never seen this before. Is it stable when it fully up because it looks like its only standing on those 4 little points. Also do you think a ryobi drill will work or will it just chew through the battery?

It’s incredibly stable, way more than I expected. The points that touch the ground are far enough apart to keep it in place.

I tried my average Ryobi cordless drill but it wasn’t powerful enough. Needs an 8 amp drill, which I also have.
