I was looking at the QuickJack but I did some calculations on lift height and it definitely won't raise a Carrera high enough to drop the engine and you *might* be able to get the transmission out, but not on a transmission jack of any type that I could find.
Now that Flat6 has done all of the work that I was going to have to pull the transmission for, I might look at getting one again--especially at that price.
Gotta decide in the next 2 days since the $100 off runs out on 12/11...

Double the money, but more than twice the utility, the Danmar low rise portable lifts are amazing. I just upgraded my Maxjax to a Mx-6 with a black friday deal. Perfect for dropping the powertrain.

I kept my liftbars from my 928S 4, not knowing that they would exactly fit the 996! The car sits too low to slide the jack and bars underneath, so I first lift both rear wheels and place small blocks under the tires which enables me to then use the liftbars. Good news with the liftbars is that you can stand them in a corner of the garage as they take-up no space whatsoever and are highly effective tools.

What I want is that QuickJack type setup, but one where it is built into my garage floor, flush, and I can drive over it in place.
There's lots of things I want but I won't end up getting

Those esko jack stands are the best. I love the big feet. I haven’t used my old jack stands since I got them.
Nice fabrication!

I bought this a few months back and it's perfect for 986/996
It's not worth the time for wheel swaps though....I have 2 jacks to lift front n swap, then lift both rears n swap. Setting up the quickjack take a few minutes longer to do that.
It's very useful to swap axles which I did. Any suspension work and waterpump which I'll do nx year. coil/plugs will be so much easier also which I do every yr.
In my situation, can't get a lift due to height of garage so was a perfect fit.
