Default When was the last time you put the jack in the middle of the car and lifted the whole thing?

That's what I thought. ;-)

Even lifting just one side you're lifting less than half the weight of the car because of the weight transfer when you tilt it.

Default Frank, can you please answer a couple of questions about the jack for me??...

I would get one if I knew that the Eastwood unibody adaptor would fit it. Is the jack saddle removable? If it is, can you tell me what the diameter of the hole is that the jack saddle post sits in? TIA.

Default It's removable and the diameter of the hole looks to be about an inch.

I measured the diameter of the saddle post while all assembled as I have to run and don't have time to disassemble. The post measures just a hair under an inch, so I'm assuming the hole is an inch.

Let me know if you need a more precise measurement, I can do it tonight.

Thanks! I think I can make that work with the adaptor pad.
