Nope.

Half the time I lift sideways too. Only way to get the leveled pads for alignment and corner balance to fit. Works great.

Welp, with that "extension" you wouldn't have to get down on your knees and reach under the car so far. Once you are on your knees, on a hard, cold concrete floor, your knees may lock up and/or you get a Charley horse trying to get up. Then when you are reaching waaaay under there, your tri-focals will go out of focus, so you can't see what you are reaching for and you will get a catch in your back.

By that time, you will have forgotten why you were going to jack up the car at all and decide to take two aspirin and a nap.

That video's pretty entertaining. You can tell they've had a few emails about it.

I assume they'd be handy if you had a wider car, but with ours not really necessary. I think I still have them somewhere.

Well, I see no use for them, in fact I had to take the one in my picture out of the plastic for the pic.

In the garbage they go.

I lost one of the rubber feet in my power unit. I'm going to put little casters on it so I can just kick it around the garage.

or hook one of the otherwise, useless handles to it so you can pull it like a wagon.

depends on how you have the frames positioned...

if you're sliding the frames from the outside of the car inward, then no.
if you have the frames positioned side by side (and you drive your car over them), then yes.

I guess for purposes of using the QuickJack in a standard 2 car garage, you would never use it. If you are using this in a single car garage or an area with very little room on the side, then it is used all the time.
