I love my scissor lift! Hug I was changing the catalytic converter out on my 99 Accord (getting ready to sell her), and teh lift makes it so much easier to do. It was a  little bit of a challenge getting to the back bolts because of the lift, but I managed. The bigger pain was getting those freaking nuts off. My air impact wrench wouldn't budge them. So I soaked them with some PB Blaster (2 applications), a little old fashioned elbow grease, and those suckers came off. Anyone who's considering getting a lift, go ahead and do it - you won't be sorry!
 
Btw, I was working under the car, and I notice a big red pickup at the edge of my driveway. I stare at them fro a minute, and a guy rolls down his windows and says "we just wanted to get a look at your fancy jack"ConfusedLOL. I love living in the south sometimes...LOL

I've accomplished a lot more with my 2 poster than I ever could without one, and with a lot fewer "#&%*" words Wink LOL.  Once I tried it, I wouldn't want to live without one .

Isn't it amazing how many things we accomplished without the tools we later accumulate ie: lifts-welders-torch-air compressor.

My two-post has been some of the best money I've ever spent also!  I've had it for about a year and a half and have used it soooo much.  A good friend of mine liked it so much he went and got his own installed in his garage.  I can't imagine not having one now.
