I mean, its a heavy duty aluminum tube used in close proximity to workspace. I would question your abilities as a mechanic, hell, as a man, if it had NOT occurred to you that it could be used as a cheater.
I asked for the steel ultra low profile 2T jack for Christmas, we'll see how that goes.

It goes down to 2 5/8" so it should be MUCH easier to get under the Miata while working out of the garage.

Not HF, but on sale for $98.20 delivered at HD. How does this impact wrench look?
I already have 5 of the 18V XRP batteries, which is why I am heavily leaning toward an 18V Dewalt.
Need to replace my shocks before spring, and I think this would make it easier.

Downside: Pole diameter is not big enough to fit over anything except a 3/8" drive.

I have this. Got a few years on it, works very well. Low-profile is lowww, and even better it lifts the wheels off the ground in 4-5 full pumps (giggity). Can't complain. Except, it is a soooon of a bitch to lift should you decide to take it anywhere, its a dense piece of steel to say the least.

Yeah, its not going much of anywhere beyond the driveway. I've got the blue and silver 1.5T "Racing" jack that comes to the track with me, along with a small 4" section of 2x4 that I can drive up on to make juuuust that much more room for that jack.

The sumabitch is heavy to move around though. 2T is not the rating, but the weight.
Also not long enough for my Fit, but they put the jack point in a stupid place.

I bought the M12 3/8" one for myself since I have a big IR pnumatic for the big things. Even the little M12 does lug nuts no problem.

I didn't mean it in the sense that you actually watch to many, or all of his videos(Ive watched every single one). But someone has picked up all of AvEs brand poking fun vocabulary.
Not complaining one bit, carry on.
