Default Quick Jack

Quuck note- I’ve been using my new Quick Jack. Got this about 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love this thing. Set up in a couple hours taking my time. I can get the car up in about 5 minutes. Everything stores away. Here’s a few pics from this morning. Full wheel off detail during a super rainy morning.

Thank you for posting this quick review. I'm about to place my order for a BL-5000SLX tonight...I think the 5000 lb capacity is probably a good choice for our cars. Did you get 12V or 110v? I assumed the 110V model was what I would choose, but I see that the 12V model lifts about 2X as fast. I'm envious of your garage space! I have a very tight 2-car, and space is at a premium for me!

Same question....I've been trying to decide between the 5000 and 7000. Curious on which model you purchased!

I bought the 5000 lbs model. The middle size. Plenty strong for this car, the M3 or even the wife’s X5. It’s the 110v version that you plug in. As far as speed goes, it’s plenty quick. Puts the car up in like 20 seconds. I don’t need it to go any quicker than that. Truly a game changer if you’re swapping wheels, detailing or just need to get under the car a lot. It’s a real pleasure to work with this. Love it.

SLX is all we need. EXT might even be too long.

No worries at all, but it’s not Race Deck its Swiss Trax. Similar for sure. I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem on either. Swiss Trax is a bit thicker. Good in my Minnesota winters for the slop.
