Unlike you, I know how to work on my own car. So it doesn't go to the shop.
Shouldn't you be trolling the Prius forum?

Reverse Logic Limited is a multi-member LLC. I do not have product liability insurance for the tools I make. I inquired about the coverage years ago and the application makes it just about impossible to qualify. I have been selling jack pad tools for over ten years. I introduced the Corvette tools in 2012 and no one has ever reported an incident. As long as you use a floor jack with a saddle that is larger in diameter than the puck, and work on a surface where the jack is free to roll, you won't have any problems with the tools.

As usual you post incorrect information...do you really think a $20 product will carry liability coverage for a $60k(+) car falling off a jack? But before you reply with your typical narcissistic "Im always right" attitude - here is a email from the OWNER of the puck company you claimed to know so much about:

And YES, I do think companies who make $20 products do carry liability insurance for protection in case of product failure liability.
The point to my post was to just warn that anyone who makes their own pucks are potentially putting themselves at risk. This isn't just my hunch as one of my daughters is an attorney.
Mayor111, the difference between my and your participation on this forum, is that I'm here to hopefully help members of the Corvette community base on my 44 years of Corvette ownership. Not saying I know more than anyone else but I couldn't help but pick up a little bit of knowledge over that time.
You seem to be here just to stir up conflict and make believe you know something.

From the attorney: In terms of a jacking puck product - "slipping" off a jack would never be considered "product failure" unless advertised as "Guaranteed to never slip". But we know that no company would advertise / claim that due to the severely high risk it would take on from that statement. I could almost guarantee that would be deemed as "negligence" on the part of the product user cause it could never be proven otherwise.

You stated above that if a C7 "slips" off the lift that they would be liable... Just for educational purposes, I called our attorney (we get free legal services in my company) and asked how this would play out in court

The fact of the matter is "little man", you bully folks when they question you... So I'm going fact-check the **** out of everything you say...cause most of what you say is wrong...just as I proved here...again.

I have no anger at all, but obvious you do. Seems we both may have a problem, you need to see a therapist and I may have a stalker.

No, you are correct.
Please note: any time you are lifting a motor vehicle, you must take all necessary precautions, and follow the owner's manual to the letter.
Otherwise you are placing you self in harms way, and ultimately may damage you sports car!
Great question OP
Many thanks,
Ray

I bought this set from amazon so I didn't have to worry about making them and they stay in.
