BIG RED Scissor Car Jack, 1.5 Ton (3000lbs) Steel Scissor Lift Jack Car Kit

In this price range, this scissor jack deserves 5 stars. I have an antique mahogany bed that weighs somewhere between 600-800 pounds. Heavy enough it took 4 men to get it in. I needed to add risers and could barely budge the leg from the floor, and certainly couldn’t lift it 4” while correctly placing the risers. This worked well because it is low profile and I was able to slip it under the bottom rail easily. There was no problem cranking the handle with one hand. Also, unlike many of this type, it has a smooth flat saddle rather than the wobbly round saddle that usually have rough teeth. There was no damage at all to the bottom rail while jacking up the bed. The base is also better than most in this category. Wide and flared so I never thought at any time that it could tip, even on a carpeted surface. Overall no complaints. If I had a suggestion it would be in reference to the handle. There is no articulation so it is unforgiving when it comes to angle of approach. I had to straighten out the handle completely and there would be no way to really use it as a crank until the jack was extended most of the way.

Great for my purpose. Used to lift an AC unit in a crawl space that settled and was not level & draining condensation properly.

Its size is nearly perfect for lifting low-slung as well as regular-height objects. Mine is used for specific furniture applications where conventional furniture jacks are either too flimsy or too expensive or simply too inaccessible to use. The nice thing is that it IS capable of mechanical work with my lawn and garden tools, as one of my lawn mowers weighs over 700# and I don't own a hydraulic floor jack. As such, wheel changes can be a... problem. That said, I'm not the greatest fan of the bent-end crank handle, though it meets the need... crudely.

Used on a "Troy Built Pony" to change a wheel out, works as advertised, you get what you pay for

For science I bought this for my roadside business, at the time I had a 3 ton steel jack and was tired of grabbing it out for tiny cars so I grabbed this. Was able to fully do 70 ish tire changes, from tiny cars to small SUVs. These are flat out not designed for what I was doing but after testing it, this is absolutely the best product to keep in your vehicle if you don't want a floor jack, it's stable and easy to use, takes up no space if you toss the factory jack away.

Works well on my 1983 truck

Way better than the scissor jack that came with the car originally. Slightly thicker gauge metal, wider base, and overall just smoother operation and the paint job for that extra good mojo. I got this for my wife, who is learning how to work on cars. Our old floor jack failed in the middle of working on her breaks, yes we had jack-stands, yes she learned why we use jack stands that day lol. Her old scissor jack was used to get the car off the stands once the job was completed. She did not enjoy how sketchy it felt using the stock scissor jack. She is much happier with this new jack and really loves the powder coat paint job, said its cute. We tested her using this jack and she was laughing at how much better it performs. So, wife loves it, husband approved, happy world. Can't argue with that. Also got her a breaker bar and lug nut sockets. The tire iron didn't give her the leverage to bust a lug-nut off, a three foot cheater bar solved that. She showed it off to her girl friends and family who all gushed over her super power of being able to remove lug nuts. Last time she was this excited it was because she had functional pockets on a pair of jeans she got. She legit went to work and was showing the ladies at work the scissor jack and breaker bar setup. She even tested it further, having the girls also bust their nuts on their cars. All of them laughing at how easy it was. I warned her though, playing with your nuts to much isn't healthy. She is now learning shop humor and life is good.

I bought this jack for portability. I have a 1.5 ton aluminum Arcan jack that is great. However, I can't have it in my trunk everywhere I go. Its around 50lbs and takes up a lot of space. This jack is light and can be thrown in the trunk and still have space to share. This scissors jack has a wide base and has a decent lift. It includes everything you need in the event you are stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire and need to change it. The jack was a bit dry so I did apply a generous amount of grease on the threading to prolong its life.. Due to the width of the base, it may not fit where your manufacturers jack (if you have one) is usually located and may need to just be put in the trunk itself. Just keep the packaging box as it will keep everything together and neat. I paired this with the ABN Scissor Jack 1.5 Adapter. The adapter allows you to use a 1/2" extension or a 13/16" socket, same as found on a tire lugnut wrench. It allows me to raise it and lower it faster than using the supplied tool. I would be very careful and dissuade one using an impact, especially an impact drill. If you use an impact, it should be an impact wrench. Use Locktite and/or a self locking nut. If you Use the included nut it will fly off due to vibrations of impact wrench. Included pictures show adapter with self locking but from Home Depot and comparison with the included nut. If not properly greased and if there's too much torque, it could severely lessen the life of the jack and even potentially break and or shatter the jack or tool itself. Using an impact drill is even worse since it won't have the power of an impact wrench and may burn out the tool.

I purchased two jacks to do a brake job on my truck. One was defective but still worked. They were very stable and easy to work with. No problem with getting a replacement. I recommend this product for it's price and functionality.

Funciona correctamente, ya levante el carro unas 4 veces y esta estable y aguantador

Works great, very low profile. This easily fit under my BMW F30 3-series and was quite solid for removing one wheel. I wouldn't use this if I was going to do all my own wheel changes because all scissor-type jacks take a while to raise the car, but for an occasional or emergency jack, this one works very well. Can't beat it for the low price!

Recomendado. Mil veces mejor que el de agencia.

A un compañero de trabajo se le ponchó la llanta, utilizamos el gato tipo tijera y nos sirvió a la perfección, fue una buena compra para emergencias, es un poco más grande que los que normalmente vienen de agencia en los autos pero es más estable.
