There to me on occasion is nothing quite like a large heavy floor jack from long ago. They are still out there. Of course you would not use them for everything today. You just cannot beat the lift they give you. You are pretty much limited to using them on a concrete surface as well.

This theory that you cannot have enough jacks is semi true. I do a few yard sales at the early part of the year. Partialy because I run across people I may not have seen for a long time. Last Saturday there was your typical cheap hydraulic jack and two jack stands for 11.00. So into the trunk they went.

I am not chicken little in life. I just will not get under a car with any part of my body. With the car on jack stands alone. Never have. Something in my mind tells me it is not totally safe. Block the car as well as it only takes a minute or two.

Along with yet another 5 gallon plastic gas jug. I kind of get pissed off at what they normally retail for now. For what they are.
