Default MaxJack or QuickJack regrets?

I keep going back and forth on which one to purchase; anyone purchased one and then wished that had gotten the other? If so, what caused yourregrets?

No regrets with the Quick Jack. I liked the portability over the Max Jack.

I don't see myself taking it away from the house, although you could. But I have used it in different spots in the garage plus out in the driveway on a neighbor's car.

Quick Jack rocks! Even a big boy like myself can get under the '08 and I feel like there's enough room and stability to work on anything under the car.

Quickjack...only regret is not getting it sooner. I would have saved spending money on other lifting devices.

I have both. Both serve different needs. If I had to choose only one, would do a quickjack.

If your in Phx area, I'm in Gilbert, more than welcome to come see them in person.

Quick Jack has been the best lift purchase I could have made. Was dangling between this and race ramps and decided on the Quick Jack via the Costco deal for $999.

QJ is a nice tool to have no doubt.

However, I had LOTS of issues getting a complete UNDAMAGED kit to my house. Seems like shipping from CA --> MI might be a little to much for the flimsy packaging.
