Don't ever cheap out and buy the small 2.5 ton Cdn Tire model that comes in a carrying case. I had one that fell over, luckily I wasn't under it. I went straight out and bought a 3.5 ton model, also a Cdn Tire product. I can't say just why but I have the distinct impression that "Power Fist" is a Chinese word meaning crap belive me..... i've put a 19yo into a body bag for just this reason.... Whatever you do...... DO NOT get under something that's only held up by a jack......... USE JACK STANDS !!! ok, rant over..... the PA stuff is great for a limited use tool.. it may not be a fast, or as good as strap-on. but atleast PA will honor the warrenty... Stands and wheel chocks(how ever ya spell it) Bull, Im glad I dont have your job. Just thinking of that almost brings tears to my eyes. That poor kid is gone when lot's of low lifes continue to breath,,,as we all know life is unfair,,, Da Dogg

Thanks T-dogg, but it's no job.. it's a hobby. i do it as a vollunteer. I also knew the young man... and his parents fairly well... at the very least, if he had thrown the front tire under the car, he'd still be with us today.....
stay safe out there guys...
Like that name eh Big G ... the snap-on guy doesn't seem to find it as funny.... nor do i enjoy the broken tools he won't replace...
