I think it's the same amount of time... between pushing the car up onto low profile ramps, putting the low profile jack under the center jack point, lift front, do rear, keep lifting til stands are high, verify it won't fall over and kill me, work on car. Quick jacks are slide them under each side, try to line up the rubber pinch weld thingers, lift it to touching the pinch welds, verify they're all lined up, lift car all the way. Voila. In teh garage? lol

I don't have a garage so can't own quickjacks, but for anything more than working on a single side or doing an oil change I head to a buddy's house who has Quickjacks because they are just so much easier. Kind of a pain to move around but worth it imo.
They don't lift as high as Rhino ramps, but I got the Cusco low profile ramps and drive up it no problem. Can still squeeze a pan under for an oil change so they do the job and they raise the car enough to get a jack under instead of having a bunch of wood boards around |

Its all about whether you can move the Quickjacks laterally out of the way. Not everyone has access to a full garage, and for some a jackstand and floor jack setup would be better. Quote:
For example, on my S13 I lift the car on the frame rails with the blocks, I never have to compromise the underbody ever again. Quote:
I have 2 pairs of these and vertically store both the Quickjack and also the extenders vertically in my garage against the wall. The bottom sits on the floor and the weight is mostly on the floor, the hangers just hold it against the wall. Or when I get lazy I push them together so it sits between the wheels. It is low enough to where I can just drive over them when I park my car. |

I think the other benefit is that this is light enough to where you can physically haul it to the track and have a portable lift system if you ever need it.
There's a 12V version. Again, not for everyone. But if you ever need a way to drop a transmission at the track, this is about as good as it gets. |

He does this all the time. Just trying to get clicks, doesn't really engage.

Every youtube personality is different. Some want to build a community and some want to build a channel. The clicks and engagement on platforms like YT mean getting suggested more even if you don't engage 100% with commenters. But for forums and building relationships, the YT style is not the best.

(No one here has talked about what happens when you forget to unlock one side but there have been two really jarring video reviews of just that. Proof the mechanical locks work well enough to yeet a car to the ground.)

I didn't know about the wall hangers. I think I want a pair. And I'm going to remove the rubber feet on the pump unit and replace with casters so I can just roll it around. |

I figure, if you had the wall hangers, and you hung them not on the wall, and not against the wall with the wheels on the ground, but so the bottoms were a couple inches from the wall. Then you could push in the bottom with your feet till it is flush against the wall, which would raise it enough to get it out of the hook. Then you would never have to lift them off the hooks.
What do you think? |
