After years of climbing under a car on jackstands or ramps killing my back i gave in and broke down and bought a mid rise bendpak

scissor lift.

Nice! I need a bigger garage or a second garage for a lift.

So this one is a flush mount lift. But i made temporary ramps while its just on the floor. I wanted to make sure i liked where the pads were before i cut the concrete out.

Well, la-de-fucking-da! Hahaha, wow, honestly, I like yours better, it looks like it will actually get used (and I see we have the same garage designer ... )

Lol. My garage is my play room and it gets a workout. Car, welder, lathe, mill, reloading and woodshop

Nice. Totally off topic, but a buddy of mine just put in a SawStop table saws that detects a hand/finger, blows a small charge and the blade retracts into the table - it's magic.

I almost bought one of those. Not because of that feature because i know well enough to keep fingers away from the blade, lol. But because it was a real nice tablesaw/ router table combo.

What did it cost?

Price went up almost a grand since i purchased due to the price hike in steel and fuel. But $4,200. Its a 6,000lb lift and this model comes either surface mounted like i have it in my pic. but it comes with the drive on ramps) and a channel to run your hoses in.

And flush mount where you cut out the concrete floor to countersink them. Thats what i have but before i cut the floor out i wanted to make sure i liked where they are.

This is the "mid-rise" category. They have a low-rise and full-rise as well but i didbnot see a flush mount option in those as well as i dont want only a low rise like the quick jacks are.

I got the extended version so the pads are longer. But i meant to order the regular one. And kinda wish i didnt mess up. The mustang will fit still but the pads run the full lenght of the side skirts. So you have to be perfectly over them.

I went with Quickjacks. I don’t get the height, but it was also 1/3 the price. They work for me. I guess it depends what you want to do with the lift. If I had the head room, I would have done a (4) post lift.

Believe me i was tempted. But im no stranger to sliding under a car. And im supposedly not in the best of shape allegedly.... so i wanted as much room as i could get, lol.
