I used to have one, but sold it when I bought the stacker trailer. I have a lift in my garage, and used the QuickJack at the track. It was very useful, and well made. If you buy used, make sure you get a later model, because the early model had leaky fittings, that were later changed. They now offer a wall bracket to make storage convenient. And I found a plastic tub/lid that fit the pump and hoses, for easy storage.

Have had one of their 5000s for a couple of years. Love it and well worth the money. Much safer than jack and jack stands, and I can get more height w the QJ too.

Might want to look at MaxJax. More useful than quick Jack, a bit less portable.

I have one, and am happy to either answer questions or have you come by and look at it. I agree with the folks above: it is pretty handy, easy to use, not too difficult to move, and it seems well made. Overall, I'm happy with it.
