I have seen a number of YouTube videos for the aforementioned product! Does anyone have any real world experience with them? From what I see they would definitely solve many of my issues. I would appreciate your comments - positive or negative - on the product! Thank you in advance.

 

I've seen them and really wasn't that impressed. They're really only good for working on the car without removing the wheels.

A better jack and 4 6-ton stands would work as well. If you want wheel support you can build 2x4 cribbing blocks to support the wheels cheap.

I suppose if you want something flashy for pictures....

 

I contacted the vendor, and the price was steep and he had no approval or certification documentation to along with them. This means they have not be load tested by any authority and deemed safe for X-amount of weight. Which is important to me.

 

I have been using mine for several operations (where I do not have to remove the wheels). I have a set of (4) and they are a great solution for low ceilings. The best part to me is that unlike a Kwik Lift (which I also have) or a 2 or 4 post lift, is that when you are done you can stack them in a closet and only take up about a square foot of floor space - leaving your garage space clear when not in use.

If you spend a lot of time putting you car up and down in the air or need to stand underneath your car, then a full-on lift is great. In my case, I have a low ceiling and only put my car up maybe once or twice a year for a day - so to me a hydraulic lift would just be something to trip over and walk around most of the time - more inconvenient than convenient (for me).

Every lift system has it's good and bad points. MyLiftStands are very well built and strong and do what they are designed to do well - far more secure than jack stands IMO. I have several lift systems that I use for different operations, but I am very happy with that purchase for what I do. It is not something I would recommend for a Mechanic Shop where they are constantly lifting cars in the air on a daily basis, but for occasional home use it is a great tool to have in your bag of tricks.

I don't have any photos in the full-up position (yet):









My Kwik-Lift is more versatile in that you can remove the wheels as well with accessories, but takes up a lot of space when not in use. It is also faster getting the car into the air (if you have room to keep it set up). One down side is that the car has to be driveable to use it. The MyLiftStand can raise the car straight up even if it is dead (i.e. broken transmission cable, etc.).

In a regular garage, you "could" park on it, but not with my tile floor. I spend 98% of my time detailing and doing mechanical operations on the ground - so clear space is my priority...

 

My first setup was Race ramps and jack stands then I went with the Quickjack set up
