[Shop-talk] air/hydraulic floor jack

[Steven Trovato]

Jim,

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.  There should be some sort of 
electric alternative, perhaps using one of the common battery packs 
like Milwaukee.  But as you found, apparently no such thing exists 
yet.  As for the Quickjack, those are definitely clever.  One concern 
is the way they describe the sizing based on the kind of car.  I 
wonder if there is a model that can handle both a small car like a 
Miata and a large SUV.  I am not buying a selection of these 
things!  Also, I can currently lift a project car for long term work 
and then jack up another car for an oil change or brake job.  I guess 
I would still need a jack and stands for that scenario.  They do look 
nice, though, and they would probably be very useful for most situations.
