Tyre Jack Instead Of Car Jack?

hey i made a thread about not being able to get my car up lol

but then it crossed my mind to jack up from the tyre and i found this on ebay

has anyone used this or similar? sounds like a great idea for jacking up low cars or even a quick oil change

Do "Maximum Weight" specifications come with that?

Even though it can remove a large wheel, I have concerns about using this to lift up such an enormous weight as 1/4-1/2 a car.

Weight limit is 50kg.

No way in hell should anyone get underneath a car supported by that.

There are Low Ramps that fit underneath low slung cars > drive up on them > trolley jack > jack stands.

you could look into the inflatable jacks that 4x4's use.

made for use in the bush on rough terrain where a jack won't work - they're just a heavy duty inflatable bag that you slide under the chassis rail, connect to a compressor or even to the exhaust outlet and it will pump up under the car and raise it up!

the bag is only a few mm's high uninflated, so it would get under even the lowest car - plus they're light, and can be stowed in your spare wheel well. show me a trolley jack that you can do that with!
