I've wondered if the quick jacks we use today could actually be used to lift the car. A friend was helping me work on the car one day, I went to take a piss and when i came back, he was using my floor jack and quick jack to raise the car.
The quick jack held just fine and did not hurt the body !
I don't know if I'll ever do it again but, if it held with no problem, I'll ask what about using it to tow a short distance, at slow speeds ?
The pressure and weight would be more to raise the car, than pulling.
Has anyone towed their car before using the quick jacks ?
Or used to raise the car ?
What are the differences from the racing cobra back in the 60's vs todays after market quick jacks ?
Anyone have a pic of the original quick jacks ?
I've seen the leverage tool on little wheels used to raise the car, but not just a pic of the quick jack.
