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.
Thanks, but just to clarify, the jack is a one off prototype, or the pinch weld adapter is a one off prototype? If others based on the concept are already available, can you post the link to those? Thanks.
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.
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.
Thanks, I saw that, and I posted on your profile. Does this guy have a website or ebay store or something similar?
