    I have the same pair, and I've used them once without dying.

    Did you die all the other times that you used them?

    I always use one or two 3 ton floor jacks along with jack stands as backup and vice versa. Same goes with the Rhino ramps I own. I'd be at peace if I died but damn I'd miss my dog!

    yea, but those times weren't because of the jack stands.

    I've got 2 sets of the Big Red torin jacks. They are stout. They'll serve you well.

    Which Predator generator does not suck?
    Does anybody have hands on experience on any?

    I have the 2000 watt inverter. Had it for several years now, works great. It's an earlier version though I would guess as it looks different.

    My parents have the 4375 watt generator. Only had to use it for 1 extended time and was quite happy with it. I plan on buying the 6500 watt one for myself when they have a sale. Hopefully it will sit unused for a long period of time.

    I was looking for coupons, nothing. I also will be buying one once they post a coupon. Undecided on either inverter or not.

    I got super lucky last summer. We had a bad storm and lightning blew up transformers during the night. Ibwas waiting at HF when the doors opened. There were 3 generators left by the time I got to that section. As I waited in line to pay for the 4350 I found a coupon online.

    I use ramps to change the oil in our Corolla... Handier than jack stands or wooden blocks.

    EDIT: I just noticed a later post that comments on the lack of bracing/reinforcement on those ramps. And I agree. Mine have support making them stouter than those. I would be leary of using them.

    I use old 1” gym mat stacked 3 high. I’ve had ramps like that buckle under a car before. I WILL NEVER USE THOSE TYPE AGAIN.

    Don't get ones that don't have any bracing underneath, like those.
