Exactly what I was think plus thickness of the metal and weld quality. Last but not least does anyone dye penetrate to check for stress cracks afterwards? Doubt it
Definity should of been square base plates ,thicker guage metal and thicker safety pin being that's what supporting the weight. Seems pretty limited in lift height to less than double original space.
Nothing about it is a death trap you just weld on some bigger base plates if you doing something crazy but for just basic tire change or oil change it's fine

Where you are told to lift it ... when using a PINCH WELD JACK pinch weld jacks do not lift on the pinch weld they have a slot for the pinch weld to slide into it and the weight rests on the supports on either side ... with that said ... I don't use those due to how rockers become weak and will collapse dropping the vehicle and causing a lot of damage ... best to lift vehicles the proper way from a point that is securely sound and parallel to the ground
@@gilbertwheeler160I bought a low pro jack and horizontal arm attachment to jack up my beater car. I suppose someone could try to jack it up on the rockers, if they can find them. It would require quite the scavenger hunt to find all the bits of rust strewn about though the years and then some alchemy to turn the rust back into metal. Then get them back in place. 😂😂😂
Some French cars are lifted as seen in the video. There are marked spots, which are reinforced, but even the contract shop lifts the car at the edge. It works, when done with a big rubber pad.
I think if that central bar extended out to fit the jacking points it could fix that potential problem. It seems like a brilliant idea for non workshop mechanic.
Very niché but every vehicle's jack points are different and as others have said very undersized foot plate. Im guessing the spinning footplate is going to cause tippage too.
The concept itsefs is not a bad idea. If you build one with bigger foot plates which can't tip over you get a cheap alternative for a car lift. The one in the video clearly has to small foot plates and is dangerous since it can tip over to the side
@@Tips_Hacks_Experiments wtf why would you have that massive monstrosity but not be able to get two jack stands?? This was extremely unnecessary... Let alone bothering making a video about it 😄
Do not go under there , left side is unstable , in the video at about 3/4 gone , your left hand is at the base , and you can see the left leg is not straight , I think it’s because your lift is bending that fen on the left side , that fen can’t hold that much weight !
I've done sketchier 😆 just make sure it ain't sketchy if you are going under.... And if your doing sketchy make good sure you are really no where near the falling distance.
Looks a good idea but 2 major issues for me. 1 is that the bases need to be much wider, that's definitely gonna fall over. 2 is that I'd struggle to get that under my car with the jack under it.
This is great but the feet bases are micro size. The slightest shift in weight on the car. That thing is falling over and you are falling size feet under. Cheers. If you made it with 3 legs that are offset to a triangle formation, it would be fine. But it would be best to leave the jack in place. Matter of fact, just buy a drive on lift :)
I always put a jack under the vehicle and rest it on a stress member but always also leave the original jack in place. This looks dangerous, feet are too small and the pins don't look thick enough, this is a fine backup as long as the lifting jack stays in places and bears the weight as well.
imagine those pins are made out of aluminum or cheap steel 🤣 and if i saw one of these under my car im just taking it out and putting some jack stands under there or bring it to a car lift
the song says it... 'I don't know where I went wrong' ... unstable, no access to the side you just lifted because of the legs and the horizontal bar, and the feet are crooked under the weight. Please reconsider ! ;-)
Need some nice big plates on the feet of that thing, i like that design though! This is where innovation comes from, dudes chilling in their shop with an idea that turns real.
The base plates are too small.

@@jbowser9679I agree more.
Because you know what too small looks like...
Not likely the base plates will allow sinking through concrete.

Death trap 2000 with David carradine was better
How
@babushkaboi7288 are you being serious? 😂

Clever fabrication, but DANGEROUS.
Ironic clever
Correct, if you rock the vehicle from the side, there's nothing to stop that steel frame from toppling over.
You can put a jack stand for added safety
@@RicardoSanchez-nb3nm as it's rocking over it might take a stand with it.. a cross brace to another side might be better or just increase the footprint size
@@RicardoSanchez-nb3nmin that case why not just use the jack stands in the first place and save some money🤔😂
I might leave the jack under there... just in case
It would be a very good idea.
I would simply never go under a car that doesn't have a backup safety solution. This is how my mother's boss died a few years ago
Yep!!
Good idea😂😂😂
I would remove that blue piece
Great idea, but I would have much wider feet. Could top laterally.
100%
True I was thinking the same thing
Using the body/rockers as a jack point is the most rookie movie a mechanic can perform
Yup, I did that... Back when I was a rookie...
That sir, is a pinch weld. It’s where the manufacturer says to jack from.

😂. I just laffed out loud. Love these Darwin Tools!
That’s not even a jack point wtf is goin on
Same what i was thinking...
That is terrifying
That's a nope for me as that car shifts sideways and crushes the tech.
Until they put one on the other side too, and buddy leans on the car
1000% unstable
Well if your going to crush your sills, you might aswell do a proper job of it. 😂😂
Absolutely the best, terrible idea I've seen ....lol
I don't think so. But you have the right to have your own opinion.😀
Actually this looks like a great idea, sure would like to know how to obtain this.
@@Tips_Hacks_Experiments ok thanks.
Id suggest no one buys this....
I think if that central bar extended out to fit the jacking points it could fix that potential problem. It seems like a brilliant idea for non workshop mechanic.
@@Lothric.Knight Do you know what DIY means?😂
Never put your jack on the rocker panels of your body, always use the frame!!
That is the strait facts
Help me understand... I thought the factory said use the pinch welds because there is no frame on a unibody
That’s what I was thinking? Like, wtf?
@@Spyke-lz2hl same 🍻
Ya, bent mine
Leave the jack on the assembly or get much broader base plates. Extremely dangerous as demonstrated. Good luck.
Adds rotation as a point of failure
The concept is nice. Add the jack stand base for more stability
Well thought but can snap sideways, so dangerous and the car could be heavily damaged 😮
As soon as you jack up the other side, and you know someone will, the car is going over.
If you don't have jack stands, just use this dangerous homemade tool that you also don't have and can't buy.
base is too narrow and WILL tilt sideways and KILL anyone underneath!
Very niché but every vehicle's jack points are different and as others have said very undersized foot plate. Im guessing the spinning footplate is going to cause tippage too.
PSA: Do NOT buy this POS product. You’ll end up dead underneath your car. Get proper Jack stands and learn what a Jack point is.
Agree, but car manufacturers won’t advise anywhere on the car that you can safely use jack stands.
@@rob-fb5xs Its literally written in every car manual where the jacking points are. At least in the UK.
@@rob-fb5xslook under the sills you’ll see a cut out on each corner where a jack goes.

‘🎶I don’t know where I went wrong🎶’
I do, you used the wrong jack points!
Why not just Jack it up and put 2 jackstands underneath?
This is for those who don't have two jack stands.😁
@@Tips_Hacks_Experiments Tru
don't they come in pairs?
@@Tips_Hacks_Experimentslol they probably don't have one of these either and can't get it at a store
@@Tips_Hacks_Experiments wtf why would you have that massive monstrosity but not be able to get two jack stands?? This was extremely unnecessary... Let alone bothering making a video about it 😄
So you're gonna trust 2 two by three pads with your life?
Exactly, yes.💪😁
No sideways support and I definitely wouldn't trust that cheap Chinese steel pin... lmao
Я так свою гранту поднял, канты погнулись😂

Only Jack up your unibody car at the appropriate spot. That ain’t it. 🤷♂️
There is always someone pointing fingers on details... 😂😂😂
Could we maybe try over engineering this type of stuff, rather than under engineering it all the time?
Super sketch. Do not trust that even for a tire change
It works for me.
the furthest pad looked about to fly off.
could've picked a better vehicle as you're using the wrong pads for pinch welds 😊😊
I've done sketchier 😆 just make sure it ain't sketchy if you are going under.... And if your doing sketchy make good sure you are really no where near the falling distance.
The, How to die 1000 model.
😂😂😂
This is the kind of thing that comes up in a conversation that starts with, “hey, did you hear what happened to Bob?”
😂
The left side supporting plate left the chat 💬
If this adapter extends for different lyft points then it's a great tool to save time. I definitely need one
n'importe quoi Mec tu veux juste niker ta caisse
Looks welded in place though.
It's a good concept but poor execution. Use a standard jack stand as your template and modify what we already know will definitely work.
It’s great execution. You get underneath it and it kills you instantly…
Now I can crunch two spots of my rusty pinch rails at the same time
When someone goes to jack up the other side. Disaster
Of course! You can't simultaneously lift from the other side in that manner!🙄
@@Tips_Hacks_Experiments There is always one idiot that will do this on both sides
Clearly, the scissor jack wasn't dangerous enough.
OMG a home made jack stand. That’s such a clever use in a car jack.
Zajebiście wcisnoł próg podkłada się tylko tam gdzie jest wyznaczone lepsze podstawki .
I can’t even get a low profile jack under my low rider 😂
😮 NO DO NOT GET UNDER THAT CAR !! A MOVEMENT AND ITS ALL OVER
Imagine trying to pick up the front of a car using a bumper jack .
Now ,
Where's that bumper ?
😄
Honestly more dangerous then just putting two jack stands on either side.
You better not sell this. You would need hella lawyers for the class action
Looks a good idea but 2 major issues for me.
1 is that the bases need to be much wider, that's definitely gonna fall over.

Ich sah wie der Schweller begann sich Aristokratisch zu verneigen😅

Rubber pieces looked jacked up! Pun intended.
Look at that pinch weld bend. Another Darwin special. GG.
The new "Insurance collector for your loved ones 2.0"
That top bar should be a "V" shape lined with rubber, and re-purpose tripod jack-stands for the legs.
Why wouldnt you just weld two normal jack stands to either side? That pin is holding all of the weight.
The problem is the base is not wide enough. When you use a jack stand what do you think is holding the weight? It's the pin.
I would love a set like these for doing tire rotations faster.
They already make Jack stands that work much better.
I aint crawling under that car no way in hell.
I'm just imagining those pins getting sliced through.
Aligning the holes to put the pins in will be inconvenient but I like the idea.
Man, that thing is twice as dangerous as that jack
У домкрата площадь опоры больше,можно безбоязненно шатать машину(если колесо прикипело)
Удар по колесу и эта подпорка может сложиться.
I wouldn't crawl under that, nice paint!
I'm getting Harbor Freight vibes!!
Thanks now I can steal my neighbors cats
i don't see that fitting under a normal car without it being jacked up already

Please reconsider ! ;-)
10 for Idea ... 6 for execution. 🤘🦁🤘
make the plates a little more square and thicker maybe then yeah good idea but i’d still keep the jack on lol
Thats guaranteed amputations sir! Give it to the chinese. 😂
Trusting your life to a couple 3/8” pins 👍🏻
It’s not a terrible idea but it’s not long enough to reach both jack plates on most vehicles. If it were, it would be too heavy to be practical.
I like it! Great idea! But could use a couple adjustments. I’d use it but only with back up’s next to it.
i mean that would be nice but the 10” maximum lift height and base plates being too slim is a deal breaker.
Wie gut man dem Seitenhalt vertrauen kann ist beeindruckend
Tray that in Canada where the bottom of your car is rotted out that Jack will be inside the car lol
I have made one similar, but I found when you jack up the other side it causes the car to move sideways, even worse coming down, it will tip over
That harbor freight special isn't gonna last long.
*Nosy neighbor:* **leans on car** “how’s it going? What cha doin?”
*”Jack stands”:* 👋🏻✌🏻🫡
Love how it's also not wide enough to hit the strengthened part of the pinch weld so it's just folding under the weight
I feel like this would kick out on me if I moved the body/frame during work under the car.
Damit verbiegt sich der ganze Schweller!
Nice idea but pinch welds should not be used like that. Look up pinch weld adapter. Fine adjustments will be helpful.
I wouldn't advise getting under a car held up by something i DIY'd 😂
That's pretty cool
You do know you can buy car stands for really cheap and they're much higher quality than the death traps you made.
Not all cars have this metal going across. New cars have only one in the front and one in the back
Not much of lift on that jack stand... good idea 💡
Need some nice big plates on the feet of that thing, i like that design though! This is where innovation comes from, dudes chilling in their shop with an idea that turns real.
Bigger foot print on the base would be great!
Now shake the car... Bam! You are a pancake! Next! 😂
Those base plates 😂
Is this the music you want played at your funeral? After this thing fails and crushes you? 😂☠️
Those base plates are so small haha
I’ve never seen anyone push the jack back down that’s crazy
