    I've seen those before, I think a few companies make them (more likely one company makes them, and several different brands put their stickers on them, lol).

    They're a pretty cool idea. A nice cross between a jack and a stand. Wider base than a typical jack, so more secure. Definitely worth a shot.

    wide base, can lift up to 21", can lock into place for safety reason, and storage should not be to much of a problem. really thinking of giving it a try

    Especially for the price, it's hard to beat. I would still have a hi-lift as a backup though. Nothing beats a pure mechanical mechanism for reliability.

    Random question how do you have that mounted and how secure is it? I like the idea

    Looks like the XL quick fists which, in my experience, are good enough for what most will see. You could do this with some eye mounts and nylon straps as well.

    So I ended up going with a pro lift 12 ton Jack. Price was about 45$. This little guy is rad with my lift and wheels I have zero issues getting any wheel off the ground including both front wheels. Takes up no much space at all, somewhat lightweight when getting it out of the truck. This will remain strapped in the bed. I bought a fist grip made a bracket and dropped in the top fender pocket with some rubber pads so it doenst vibrate. For home use I will get a standard floor Jack, but this is definitely better than my stock Jack and easier on my back to get out of my truck versus a floor jack..

    Would recommend this little guy for those of you like me.

    Went with a different route. Prices went up since last time I was looking at one. I'm happy with what I ended buying.
