If you ever need to use the factory bottle jack

Here is a quick trick that relates to our 3rd gen bottle jack - kinda goofy but functional - did this last night while replacing the front brakes:

Should you still be dreaming about a in-garage hydraulic lift one day like I am, and are forced to still use floor jacks, or in my case, the factory jack, here is a goofy trick:

Nice. I use a dewalt 14.4 with mine. The jack rod fits in the chuck just fine.

definitely cool trick! never would have thought of that.

i'll still use the low pro. 3.5 ton Arcan floor jack i picked up a couple years ago from costco (one of the best purchases i've ever made there), but that definitely cuts down crank time if it's necessary to use!
