May 28, 2007 - I like this little thing.
It makes me giggle. When I asked other Targa competitors about tools to carry, most seem to keep a spare in the car along with a jack. Adding a 1/2" drive socket to the factory scissor jack was suggested so an electric impact could be used to lift the car. I went one better and welded on a nut with a 17mm head - the same size as our lug nuts. This way I don't need to swap the socket on the impact gun.
The jack works ridiculously fast. I'm going to make another one to keep around the shop, partly because I'm going to wear this one out zipping it up and down. It'll make tire changes in the shop a snap as well though.
Oh, and Eric - if you're looking for the jack for your Miata, that's it. |
