One of the major reasons I bought a QJ was the result of my last cancer surgery. Kneeling down to polish rims was an extremely painful experience. With the QJ, I could get the car lifted high enough so I could sit on my rolling stool to polish rims.

My problem wasn't my knees, it was the fact that my last cancer surgery required one of the 4 surgeons carving out my right side core muscles wear scar tissue from cancer surgery #1 had run amok. Bending over or kneeling caused severe pain issues to my core area.

QJ worked great for that. I have to admit that I recently sold my QJ to my younger brother. We sold our previous house where I had a 1200 sq ft work shop in addition to a 700 sq ft attached garage. Our new home only has a little over 1000 sq ft - so I bought a 4 post lift so I could get our 2 daily drivers and the Camaro and GTO in the garage.

Photo shows the Camaro up in the air to make polishing rims much easier.

Thanks Champ. I liked your earlier review.

My main concern is that if I have to get down on the floor to situate the Quick Jack, I haven't gained anything, and the purchase may be a waste of money.

Kneeling is out for me, but if I can get it under the vehicle from my rolling seat, it might be worth it.
