How do you like your scissor lift? I am considering one since my garage has limited space.

 

I love it. My wife bought it for my birthday some years ago, and it's been flawless since then. It has made my auto hobby life so much easier and has probably saved my back from injury more times than I care to imagine. Heaviest load I've had on it was with my Ford Flex, which at the time was about 5500 lbs:

It appears you have some steel runners under the rollers. I am assuming this helps smooth it out on an old garage floor.

 

Actually the garage floor is smooth enough, the steel flat bars are there to ensure it stays smooth. I also put a length of rubber sheet cut to slightly wider than the flat bar to provide a bit of cushion too, and to prevent any rust stains from the unpainted flat bar from marring the floor. It's worked well for about nine years now.

 

There is a used Snap-on 6500 on FB Marketplace about an hour away from home for $1750. That is about 1/2 price of the better ones I have seen. Unfortunately, I have my military weekend so I can't go see it till Monday or Tuesday. At least this is a fun weekend, weapons qualification. Can't beat the deal, they buy the ammo, supply the weapons and pay you to do it. That is a win/win/win!

 

Single piston or double? I'd not be comfortable with the single piston lift. I have a whole collection of air tools that I rarely use anymore, just about every power tool I have now is electric - Milwaukee, Ryobi, EgoPower. Good stuff.

 

I was bummed. I had my long military weekend (Thursday through Sunday) checked this morning and the mid rise lift sold. Have the parts car up on cinder blocks and started taking parts off.
