SCISSORS CAR LIFTS

Randyleprechaun

Has anyone ever used or own on of these lifts or anything simillar. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts good or bad on them. I will be using it mainly while working on classic cars but also for use on my own car and wifes car etc etc. Mainly for servicing and brakes/suspension work. I also do small amounts of body work.

Seems like a decent item at a fairly good price.

Anyone know any dealer in ireland for such items

Thanks

I use a Chassis tilter if I want to get at the floor.

About half the price and easier on the neck.

245

Redmount do one that looks more substantial (more expensive too):

Thats why I prefere to spin it.

Looks like the cheaper they are the more stuff that gets in our way, You could always go acme thread, particularly with so much of the motor trade in trouble, you might pick up a nice heavy duty floor mounted pillar unit quite handy.
