12 volt scissor jack

[Crowesnest]

Hi everyone , after jacking up the wheels on my van this morning with the standard scissor jack, I wondered if a 12 volt electric model would make life easier ? They are available on line , wondered if anyone had any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks.

There is one in my garage but it’s rated at 1 ton and it’s useless so it’s staying there.

How about a drill or impact driver with a socket on it instead of manually winding?

Surely thats only one corner of a four tonne vehicle?
I wouldn't use it to jack a whole side up, but I think it'd lift a wheel for a puncture change?

If I'm missing something, it wouldn't be the first time though

It’s rated at 1 ton but I tried it once and it was no good.

………Does that mean that if I stand on the bathroom scales, and raise one leg, I’ll only weigh 8 stone?

You can get these which bolt to your scissor Jack and allow you to use a drill, wheel brace etc on the Jack rather than those horrible handles

Something else to go wrong..Its not something that is used very often..If you drive the wheel you need to change up a levelling ramp you only have to raise it a quarter of an inch and then remove ramp..BUSBY.

Only if you keep the other three on the ground

I prefer a bottle jack with our Moho, but do use one of these with my car's scissor jack.

I prefer phoning my breakdown people and getting them to use their jack...

I tried a electric scissor jack the drive spindle was made out of cheap metal and not fit for purpose I now have a electric hydraulic jack tried it a couple of times but the proof will be in the pudding when used in earnest
