lol, I'm actually a safety cop when it comes to jacking up my cars but in this very unusual instance, I had stopped to look at something and started pulling off the wheel... about 5 minutes after I thought I noticed the car getting a little lower looked at the jack and it was bending the the blue "body rails" of the jack.

Threw the wheel back on and pulled the jack out, shitty quality control in china missed one of the main bolts, wasn't even torqued enough to squish the lock washer.

Been good ever since though haha.

Thanks. Hopefully Tollboothwilly comes good on reimbursement. I received it with a bunch of scratches on it. Looks used. We're in discussion about it now so I won't comment more than that for the time being.

And the jack is from Princess Auto. Not sure if they have that there? Basically cheap China store

Was still $200 though

Because Canada. And we get hosed every possible way.

But you do make me think, I could order one online of much better quality for the same price...... hmmmm.

Maybe I will take it back, it's not a $200 jack.
