Subject:      Vanagon toy, Jack with spreader
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8


Hi folks,


My jacks were not healthy.  Onc was very old and untested. Left to me by a friend. The other I’ve abused for years and now it leaks and doesn’t hold reliably.  


So, decided on the Harbor Freight,  With a recommendation from Dennis I also got the spreader adaptor.  


 Locally this was out of stock but Heidi picked one up on a trip.


So, This should allow me to raise either the front or back and place jack stands easily . 


Any tips from those out there using a set up like this? 


I’ll probably do the first use with a sighted friend. 


So much potential in a well designed tool. 


Eric Caron 
Looking forward to a lift.
