I just saw that...

Good god, invest in a floor jack already. I got my low-profile jack for about $100, and you can get jack stands for like $20/pair.

God every time I watch that I laugh.

"Where?"

Those style jacks are very commonly used in the fabrication world but are called height adjusters and are usually to set a car/frame/project to finalized ride height. So its nothing to completely laugh at but still stupid in this scenario.

More like a scissor jack that comes with the car for when you need to change a spare tire. I wouldn't trust being under a car being held up by a scissor jack

Re: Micah, I'm sensing "FAIL"

Yeah, I'm sure the height adjusters are a bit stronger than the stock jacks that come with the car. IDK though.....either way, I use jack stands.....6 of em. I've got 6 holding it up now in fact.
