The 15 pound carry in car tire changing car jack

Weighs less than 15 pounds, lifts 1.5 tons to 12 inches at the pinch weld allowing 1-1/2 inches of the tire contact surface off the ground. Tested to allow 1-1/2 inches under the pinch weld with the tire fully deflated.

A special custom pinch weld adapter made of UHMW Spectra cushions and provides a secure no damage contact with the pinch weld.

 

It is a custom one off prototype.

My friend is looking at more and less expensive pinch weld adapters.

He says that others based on the concept are already available but will allow me to post the link here.

He is also considering selling the jack with the attached adapter. It is as I said, is a one off prototype.

 

The pinch weld adapter is a prototype.
The jack is a standard type, but the adapter is closely machined and adapted to fit the particular manufacturer's jack.

The jack is the absolutely best as for weight and size for his intended design purpose.

He's working on a universal adapter to fit most all of the compact trolley jacks to bring the price down.

 

It's a Gaolly.

 

The jack costs $35-40. He's looking at about $30 delivered for the pinch weld adapter. It requires no installation other than removing the swivel cup by prying off the snap ring with snap ring pliers or a large screwdriver.

 

He won't post on PriusChat, because he was banned a few years ago when the vendors on the now defunct PriusChat Shop vendors complained that his innovations were better than theirs.

He says, just search other e commerce sites for "pinch weld adapters."

He has an extensive line for Bendpak Quickjacks, Rennstands, floor jacks and other jack stands.

He's also the exclusive provider of Fisker Ocean jack point adapters.

Not so; exactly as stated. He responded to inquiries within the same day and shipped his custom adapters that he made as a hobby within one day. His hobby was his passion, because he made things for his own use and wanted just to pass on his useful ideas to others.

Those who had experience with the PriusChat Shop made many inquiries about what happened to their order.

I was there. You were not.

 

Not an issue. I would sacrifice a tire rather than my safety.

I'll drive to a safe place, where there is pavement to use the floor jack.

I did so with the last blowout a few months ago.

I've used both types of jacks in previous roadside tire changes.

The mini trolley floor jack is so much easier, safer and convenient.

The scissors jack and the large piece of plywood would likely take up more space and weigh more than the less than 15 pounds of the trolley jack. You can just grab the trolley jack out of the trunk with the convenient top handle with the other handle holding the tire wrench and the jack's handle.
