Here’s what QUICKJACK doesn’t tell you | Watch this before you BUY! 

lmfao

Who said I have tools??? :D You definitely didn't watch the whole video... On a serious note, you don't think they should have a list for your specific car on their website? Super simple fix!

@@Miguelsgarage There are a couple of factors that determine which QuickJack you need. - The distance between your front and rear lift points (lift point spread) - The distance between the lift points and the ground (ground clearance) - The distance between the tires (tirespread) - The weight of the vehicle Why a list is not ''super simple'': - The distance between front and rear lift points is not public information, so you won't be able to determine the QuickJack model needed lenghtwise (TL, TLX or ELX) - The distance between the lift points and the ground (ground clearance) is not public information, so you won't be able to determine if you need the 5000 or 7000 - People have modified cars (lowered, bigger rims, or whatever) and might not even know it. A list will give a false perception. If you have a lowered car, the ground clearance changes, if you have different wheels, the tirespread could change. - Car manufacturers change their models, designs all the time. For example, newer BMW's have a way bigger lift point spread than they used to have. If QuickJack would say: 3-series will fit 5000TL model, that might not be the case in the newer model. - If you have multiple cars, you want ONE QuickJack to fit both. Meaning, QuickJack would have to make a combo list of all suitable QuickJack models for each car, so you can cross check if both models are listed on separate cars. And then there’s accessories combo’s: Example: you own a small Porsche and a Truck. The Porsche has tight tire spread and can only fit the TL. The Truck has a big lift point spread and need the TLX. Solution: TL + extension frames. If you are spending a couple of grand on a tool, why not take 15-20 minutes to measure your cars and check the measurement sheet. Or use this calculator: measurement.quickjack-nederland.nl You can fill in the measurements for as many cars as you want and the calculator will tell you which QuickJack you need. I don’t think the video and it’s caption, your lack to investigate in a product is entirely fair. Edit: The list of vehicles in your video shows the visual locations of lift points but not a single measurement, which is really important to know to determine a QuickJack model.

I appreciate you taking the time to put together your explanation above. I touched on some of those points in my video and they do have the information above listed on their website. However, lift points ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT part when buying one of these. My QuickJack fits perfectly. All the measurements are correct, EXCEPT for the lift points. They do not line up and there's no mention of lift points on their website. I've come up with a solution. I'M GOING TO LIFT THE CAR SIDEWAYS!! Stay tuned!

Can you post a video when you figure it out please. I’m a 944 owner and would love a QJ but I’ve been suspicious that they won’t work with my car given it’s unique lift points. Thanks, Miguel.

Yeah, a car made in 84, or any other pre 90's era car, c'mon. You know where your jack points are. Drop your tools and give me 20. Besides, if you have a garage that big, and that many cars, you're sort of past quick jack money.

🤣🤣🤣 You got me there! And no, you have it backwards... I'm a man, I read the manual LAST!! I get frustrated first, then I read... sometimes, not good enough 🤣

Sorcery I tell you!!! 🤣🤣🤣 You got me there!

I watched that video. It doesn’t mention anything about mounting points…

@@Miguelsgarage lol...yes it does. It specifically tells you to measure the distance between the lifting points.

Apparently, these jack holes expect every car from the model T to be listed, illustrated with blank pages to take notes in crayon.😂😂

I did not find a safe way to do it, either straight (in-between the tires) or across. If you use the assembly mounting points, you risk damaging the floor pans as those mounting points are meant to carry the chassis only (w/o engine, etc.)

The problem is a 944 isn't a real Porsche. **JUST KIDDING**

@@patusoro4781 That's no joke water cooled? Porsche is rolling in his grave.

I own three classics and I never expect much from any manufacturer for making things to fit my one in a millian german s**box LOL.

I’ll have to check once I’m back in the shop! Will let you know!

I just checked… the earliest Mercury listed is 2000

@@Miguelsgarage Thanks for lookin 🙂

How are you lifting the Ghia since the middle frame is the strongest?

@@victorgonzalez-ow2ro it's been a while since I have lifted it , after I baught it I got one of the jack plates that goes in the original Jacking point and it bent it a little , when I put it on the wheel dollies I honestly don't remember where I lifted it from but I know it didn't damage it

"They leave this part up to you" Cowabunga it is!! 😄

They are not. Think of these like hydraulic jack stands that are linked together…

Use Google or your vehicle services manual

I was able to use it on my Range Rover sideways... still can't use it (even sideways) on the 944...

Valid point. Tiene mucha razon

Same here. I have about 8 cars, it would probably work on them all. I’d just have to measure the shortest and the longest vehicles, but it would be better if the manufacturer provided information on this. Seems like it could end up as a liability for them. I’d like to have one, but this is why I have not bought one. If you call them, they don’t know either. Pretty sad.

@@RockBottomGarage there is no way this small company can compile the thousands of different jack points for every vehicle ever made. Dude, you literally solved your own problem (measuring the smallest and largest vehicle) to determine which model you need. This isn't rocket science. They even have a video on their site showing you the exact things to measure. The whole process would take less than five minutes. You just sound lazy.

Useless?? USELESS??? Had I not made this video, I would probably have never learned what a GAZ 66 is!!! Worth it to me!

Did I? 🫢🫣🤣

On your video at 4:05''@@Miguelsgarage

I was being sarcastic on both, my reply AND the video. Apologies for the confusion. I thought I was being funny… I called the A90 Supra a BMW because it is… here are my thoughts on the A90 Supra I rented a 2020 Toyota Supra and IMMEDIATELY regretted it!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ByyPYzt7Nww.html
