Ok you guys wont believe this. I was working on my car tonight , replacing my front two wheels with my stockers because of worn tires...... Im going to drop the car back down and about halfway down the jack lets a creek out and then just fuddles to the ground...
I was like WTF , this isnt some hydraulic jack. It shouldnt have droppped like that. Well the jack broke and thank god I wasnt underneath. (somehow the threads got eaten up)
My car is pretty low and I watched it as it fell to about 3-4 inches off the ground then went back up and settled....not much room for a human skull or chest....
Well anyways Iam VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY pissed at honda , they shouldnt have jacks like this. Im hoping to take this further and possibly get something done.....
But this is a warning DO NOT USE honda jacks for anything other than a tire change. YOU MUST GET JACKSTANDS , i REPEAT USE JACK-STANDS OR YOUR SKULL WILL GET CRUSHED OR YOU WILL GET TRAPPED UNDERNEATH YOUR CAR FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG.....going through who knows how much pain....
Iam again very pissed that my jack broke , my car weighs less than it did before and it should be able to take that weight and then some......I never misused the jack.....let alone I barely did ever use it. It was on level surface in my garage....everything looked lubed nicely on the jack.....I see no reason for it to give out when I had an optimal setup.
So this is a warning , tell all your friends dont use honda jacks , or any scissor/car included jack for that matter. When I watched my car drop like it had hydros in front of me it was a BIG WAKE-UP CALL....If you work on your car go get jack-stands now.
