I agree that they are super cool. But to me it is a luxury. 6 ton jack stands will do the trick for me.
<br />
<br />Sunday: Strip auction car
<br />Tuesday: install auto zone pads and 1.8 brakes
<br />Thursday: pack for thunderhill
<br />Friday: Leave for thunderhill
<br />
<br />Spend all other available time not doing car things lol.

Just went and looked. I inherited a pair of those (Craftsman) from my dad. Still in the original boxes, I think they were used once, maybe twice. Also have a pair of the smaller (3 ton?, also Craftsman), and I have no idea what to do with them.

I've got the harbor freight 2 ton transmission jack, that thing will lift the miata 32" in the air in one stroke, assuming I drive up on blocks first.
I need taller jackstands still, to use all 30". I can't see getting one of those scissor lift things when I've got this.

This fcker' here, paid for itself many times over. Don't know how many transmissions I've done in S10's and Blazers by myself with this beast. Miata was easy, super easy.
