| Answer to: Which hydraulic vehicle jack should I buy | 23Relevance | 4 years ago | toyotagrl | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Harbor Freight is good for floor jacks, but I bought better heavy-duty jack stands thru amazon vendors. As for other (hand & power) tools, you have to figure out what you need and your budget as there's lots of options out there. | |||||

| If you look at Scotty's videos you'll see he usually uses Harbor Freight "Daytona" jacks. HF's floor jacks are actually pretty good, I've used them myself for years. I would not trust their jack stands though, which have been recalled multiple times, including recalls on the recalls. | |||||

| RE: Car Jack up points | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| "I am thinking more engine oil will flow out when the car is level." Nope. You drain plug is at the rear of the pan, and faces backwards. Tilting the car up puts the drain plug at the lowest point. But it doesn't matter. You don't need to worry about that last ounce. You will never remove every drop of dirty oil. jack stands are perfectly safe if you use them properly, and take precautions. | |||||

| Two ramps is sufficient for oil changes. Technically you are correct about the vehicle being level but as a practical matter it makes no difference. I've been doing it with ramps for years and never had an issue. Along with the ramps I also recommend placing jack stands and using a wheel chock as safety precautions. | |||||

| Scissor jack is OK with proper precautions that you always need to do when lifting a car, as others have pointed out. However you'll likely find that ramps or a hydraulic floor jack would be a lot easier and more convenient. | |||||
| Answer to: Trans jack to lift a motorcycle | 21Relevance | 2 years ago | scottykilmer | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Well they make special checks to pick up motorcycles and they work quite well. Realize the good ones have hydraulics in them and they can handle the weight. Now. If you're looking at a cheap scissors jack one that is a screw jack, it probably wouldn't hold up well, but all the ones with hydraulic cylinders work fine | |||||
| Trans jack to lift a motorcycle | 21Relevance | 2 years ago | BobTheHatKing | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Anyone ever used a transmission jack to lift a motorcycle or vice versa? The thought just randomly came to my mind. Obviously if it’s a big ole Harley it might exceed the capacity of some transmission jacks, but can transmission and motorcycle frame jacks be easily used interchangeably? I don’t have a motorcycle (yet), but I do have a transmission jack. | |||||
