JIM - -

THERE ARE "LOCKING SAFETY DOGS" THAT WORK VERY WELL. IF THEY DIDN'T I WOULDN'T BE WRITING THIS NOTE - THE LIFT WOULD HAVE FALLEN ALL THE WAY.

AUMORE - -

I DO THE SAME THING AS YOU WHEN I'M WORKING UNDER A CAR UNLESS IT'S ON A LIFT. MOST OF THE TIME I'M WORKING ON ONE OF THE COBRAS AND THE LIFT IS SIX FEET OFF THE GROUND. YOUR SUGGESTION MIGHT BE POSSIBLE UNDER A LIFT BUT WOULD NOT BE VERY PRACTICAL.

BOB - -

I USE JACK STANDS ALSO BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM SIX FEET TALL.

ALL - -

I'M PROBABLY MORE "SHOP SAFETY CONCIOUS" THAN MOST GUYS - THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I CHOSE "AUTO-LIFTER". I THINK THEY MAKE ONE OF THE SAFEST LIFTS ON THE MARKET.

MY POINT IS - - - COMPONENTS OF A LIFT SHOULD NOT EXPLODE. THE PLASTIC PULLEYS ARE NOT RELIABLE - - AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL SEND YOU STEEL RELACEMENTS IF YOU CALL THEM.

MY POST IS TO ALERT AUTO-LIFTER OWNERS - MANY OF WHOM I HAVE RECOMMENDED AUTO-LIFTER TO - OF A POTENTIALY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH CAN BE REMEDIED BY A PHONE CALL TO THE MANUFACTURER.

Y'ALL HAVE AREALLY GREAT DAY.
