I got my new tool catalog in the mail a few days ago and saw THIS, and my jaw hit the floor.

Its pricey, but damn I think I might just have to look into this thing. Do any of you have one already? If so how is it in practice????

 

That is a really cool idea! But for $300 I think I'll keep using my trusty old jack and regular stands until I'm in need of new ones.

The Craftsman Lift N Secure jack system, a Sears exclusive, is a revolutionary new jack system that incorporates jack stands nested into the floor jack. Simply position the jack under the chassis, raise the vehicle and then remove the jack, leaving the jack stands securely in place. Easy and convenient and safer too you never have to go under the vehicle to put in a jack stand. 2 Ton capacity with lifting range of 5-1/2 inches to 17 inches. A saddle (included) can be used to covert the system into a conventional jack with a lifting range of 6 -1/2 inches to 13 inches. Lift handle folds flat for quick, convenient storage.

 

!! how much $$$ for that craftsman jack??

 

neat idea fo sho. now if they can somehow make it into a very low profile jack, their in buisness lol.

 

LOL it's Craftsman, they are already in business

 

hey. im angelica.

ive been reading everything on HCforum for a while now. but i never really registered or posted.

can u help me out with how all this **** works?

 

First off, welcome to the forum. Second, How all what **** works? The forum or the jack?

 

Thats a great idea if you have a vehilcle thats not lowered, but i doudt it works if its lowered

 

since we are on the subject of jacks


if you uncle jack was stuck on a ladder, would you help your uncle jack off?

 

My question is this, if the Jack is actually the jack stand, then those stands must be hydraulic or something, which would make me less comfortable sitting under them than if it was a mechanically locking system like most jack stands.
