I love my quick jacks. Very easy to set up and gets the car up in minutes. They also lift the car higher than I am comfortable with using jackstands. Well worth the money.

Quick Jack too. Expensive, but really worth the money.

Quickjack here.
My car is lowered and I previously would have to drive on wood in the front, then jack up the front halfway, insert jackstands. Then jack up the back some, insert jackstands. Then front again, then back again.
Taking it off jackstands was the same hassle in reverse.

The Quickjack takes about 2 minutes to roll out and hook up. 15 seconds to raise to full height. Can't imagine going back to not having it.

Thanks everyone, I didn't know there were all these replies I got no notification of such, sorry.
I'm not a big fan of working under jackstands , I have stands (2) floor jacks (2) not sure they are long/low enough though. I did find a guy with almost new used Quickjacks for $1000 and am debating spending the money there (seem like a good deal?), they are 5000 pounders so they would work on my other car and truck as well, not decided as of yet. I like the wood blocks under the tires for insurance that I saw above as well.
And oooo.. I stumbled on how to get my little Red car pic below, nice!

Oh, and for you guys with the Quickjacks, do you feel safe working under the car with just those??

Absolutely. Much safer than using jackstands of any kind. The frame locks in place so you're not relying on the hydraulics.

Yes. I always confirm by trying to wobble the car a bit when I first lock them in place just to be safe, but I've never had a concern and completely forget about it while under there.

Just maintaining the hydraulic hoses, quick connects, and pump concerned me as did the two separate legs of the lift. Didn't seem as stable as my mechanical EZcarlift where both sides are connected.

Yes, I like that lift but it is a bit pricy, Like I said I found a quick jack used for $1000, If you will sell me yours for that I'll get started planning a road trip!
