The device resembled a curved tubular frame which was strong enough to "roll" the vehicle onto its sides. It had stops on the end to prevent the car from rolling too far. You could roll the car almost to 90 degrees - great for working on anything underneath. I think they sold another model that rolled the car even further, and in the ad it said you would have to drain all the fluids first.

Has anyone else seen or used such a contraption? I've always wanted one and would be curious to hear how it worked...
