Quick jack
Finally used the Quick jack today to change the oil in the Corvette and it worked GREAT! I think the worst part of using it was the kneeling to get the rubber blocks where I wanted them.
Amazing how easily it lifts the car.

I purchased and never used them, perhaps I should?

, I replaced my clutch using a QuickJack and it is awesome. Yes, you can also use it for oil changes and simple things. But, If you don't mind laying on your back its equal to any (higher) lift you can buy. My 2-cents.

I've been looking at getting one of those. Which model did you buy?

I don't know what the OP bought, but I bought the BL-5000SLX from Costco. It goes from a regular price of $1399 to a sale price of $1199 frequently. And it lifts the Corvette perfectly, I'm very happy.

For those new owners...be sure to READ and FOLLOW the directions when assembling and upon first use. Once you do that, the QJ is an excellent tool...👍🏻

A little tip for you, always let the pump run a couple of seconds after it goes all the way down to make sure the pressure is off the hoses. A couple of times I have tried to put my hoses back on and they would not connect. I called support and was told to hold the down button while connecting the hose and the pressure will release. Works good. This is not for the first time but after it has been used a couple of times. I always take the hoses off mine so i can store it easier.
