Default My new tire changer...and other tasks

Just installed my new lift. I don't have a lot of space so decided to go with this setup. It provides plenty of room to work under and makes changing tires/brakes a quick task, which I do often for the street/track. Very pleased.

nice, Heard lots about these lifts. Looks like a great thing to have - does the car seem stable and secure ?

makes life easer I bet. Congrats.

The car is rock solid on the lift. No movement at all.

I only have about 8.5 feet to the garage door opener, so I needed something that did not lift to full height but still allowed me to work underneath on a seat crawler or similar setup.

A bit of overkill for a "tire changer" but it'll work.

Yes, that set up won't help you change tires. Wheels yes - tires no.

But seriously, that thing is pretty cool. Who makes it and what did it cost?
