Can it be used to jack up the car? My jack comes with a hex the same size as the nuts that you turn to raise the car

Not designed for that job. This is an impact wrench. Since it runs at 12VDC, it spins up first before applying impact.

No, it cannot be used to turn a jack and please don't try it as it may dislodge the jack. The impact wrench operates by spinning an internal "flywheel" which then engages the wrench shaft when the required momentum is achieved which then provides an impact force to the wrench socket. When you attach the wrench to your car nut and you press the trigger, you hear the continuous spinning but only feel the impact to the nut intermittently until it break/tightens. The threaded rod in the jack would have a power (square) thread which requires smooth turning of the nut against the thread which you will not get from the Kawasaki electric wrench.

I haven't tried it so I can't definitively answer this question, but I think it would take too long. This tool does not continually drive the nut, so you would be getting maybe 1/4" turn per second on the jack nut and it would not be practical

No. There is a small plastic crank that can be inserted into the gear box after removing a small cover, but it is intended only for lowering the jack in the event of some failure while the jack is raised and under load. This is obviously not going to be something pleasurable, as it will surely require a very large number of turns to make a very small downward movement of the jack and it would be much worse trying to go upward, if not impossible.

I think yes. Be sure yours is bad before you buy another. It takes using the jack to push the wheel center upwards until the hoist unlocks. No other way to get it down. I didn't know this so I bought one I did not need.

No, this jack is designed for passenger cars. You would need to purchase the SUV Jack that is designed with the lifting point mounted on, approximate, a 6 to 8 inch stem. Simply search Amazon.com for an SUV Jack, and one should immediately come up

It requires muscle and a 7/8" wrench to raise the jack. I wouldn't suggest an air wrench.

I would believe so. Check for the reinforced chassis areas. The capacity of this jack is 1.5 tons so don't over load. block the wheels and use jack stands on a stable and flat surface.

That's correct. They do NOT jack up the car. They are used to support the car after you have jacked it up. For safety reasons, you don't want to rely on the jack to keep the car from crashing down on you while you are under it!! Thus, the use of the "jack stands".

Ssouldn't be a problem.I put htis jack on a 26 foot enclosed car trailer that i haul a race car,golf cart,tool box full of tools,generator,gas cans and other items and it lifts the trailer loaded like this with no problem.The only complaint i have with the jack is it didn't come with a manual jack handle and all the other places i saw the jack it said it came with a handle.Coy C

I don't see why not.... You can always put jack stands under once you've got the car up. However, make sure you taken them down before driving off!

No. You will have to lift it a few inches with a stock jack first, then the big jack will fit in the space. A stock is the one that comes with a new car.

If you wanted to put snow chains on a car using the Rapid Jack, it should work great. You couldn't change a tire on a car using the Rapid Jack.

Yes, you need just enough pressure to hold it up as well as take pressure off of the nuts that need to be loosened. Keep it jacked until the new one is tight. Just barely jack it until you see it move up just a hair and leave it until you're done. Look up the torque specs as well.

These jacks are primarily for stabilizing trailers. They do not " jack up" (or down), but rather, their movement is accomplished by turning the screw. I hope I've given you a proper description from which to determine their suitability for your specific need.

short answer, YES!!! only weakness in this jack is that if the vehicle, falls off the jack it will very likely bust the jack by twisting it scissors and bass. Happened to me and busted it beyond repair. I did buy another one, because it really is handy to have around. Am just more careful now.

The jack has an attached screw for the body pack. It may or may not fit w that in the way. Its meant to screw into the body pack.

it does seem to lift as advertised... altho part of the lift has to be in the foot (6") ...... I have a 2500 new dodge and it has a high hitch works with no problem.. great jack for the money

If you are talking about using 4 of these ramps to lift a whole car off the ground I would not recommend it unless you get a car jack and jack stands. These ramps are great for front car maintenance (oil change) but nothing on brakes. If you want to lift the whole thing off the ground I recommend jack stands and a car jack. You might be able to back up onto the ramps but that might also be tricky. The good thing is that they are pretty wide so you don't have to be perfect driving up on them
