This lift makes life so much easier!
Pros: easy to use easy enough to set up
Cons: the support arms are a little heavy.
Model Number: Dannmar MaxJax
"Now that I am a little older, rolling around on the ground for oil changes and brake jobs has become more and more uncomfortable. This product is an excellent addition to my garage, I could not be happier with my purchase. Set up was easy enough, however, I recommend going to the Dannmar website and checking out the video of the guy setting up and assembling the system to get a visual of the installtion process. I ordered extra anchors to allow for added flexibility of use. Even if you are a casual wrench (like me), this is a "must have" purchase. Your body will thank you."

Great, but wear a hard hat...
Pros: indespensible for diyers with a 8' ceiling, can sit while working
Cons: could be nicer if a few inches higher
"To add to comments -
1) when renting concrete drill, be sure to get a good one and a FRESH bit. The holes need to be exact diameter for expansion bolts to work
2) be sure concrete is uncracked and thick enough B4 buying. Check both post locations.
3) good luck finding a std 3-pronged 110V 30-amp wall outlet. However, a 20-amp does just fine...
4) You'll be wanting a low rolling stool - ~12 to14 inches high. Nearly all out there are too high.
5) Remember to position lift so roll-up garage door doesn't hit car"

Solid item
Pros: solid, not too hard to install
"A very solid lift. Pretty simple to assemble and works well. Did have an issue but spoke with Danmar (Gabe is the go to guy) and new parts were expedited.
The lift makes the jobs much easier and if you can DIY you can pay for the lift on just a few jobs. I also like taking the opportunity to teach my kids "how to" do things themselves to build their understanding and confidence!
Before you go trying to buy bits to drill the holes in the floor go to a tool rental store. I got the drill and both bits for $40 per 1/2 day and just to buy one of the drill bits would have been that much."

Good Decision
Pros: good price works well
Cons: needs about 6 extra inches of lift, found a lot of things to clean under the car :)
Model Number: Dannmar Max-Jax
"Works as advertised. Lifts up to 48" pad height with included 3" pad extensions. 6" extensions available. But... The arms are still at noggin height when I use my roller seat so wear a hat. (ouch! the first time)
Longer/extra hoses available from others to put the pump somewhere other than just behind or in front of the car. Just need one, maybe 10' extra.
It's nice to be able to store at least one column out of the way so I can still safely park a car in the space and open the doors. This drove the decision vs a full-height assymetric lift.
I put in extra anchors with wider spacing to allow working on the car with the doors wide open, arms extended.
Lubricate the "installer" bolt for the anchors a bit, and install will go a lot faster/easier. Just the bolt threads, WD-40 is OK.
Rent a rotary hammer for the anchors. Typical home-use "hammer-drill" is a waste. Holes cannot be wallowed larger accidentally if you want the anchors to grab in the holes.
Lifts the Porsche and the 4Runner effortlessly."

Awesome lift!
Pros: portable
Cons: lag bolts provided are junk
Model Number: 537267
"This lift is great! It's easy to set up and works wonderfully. The lag bolts that came with the kit are junk, so we spent another $50 buying nicer ones. We also used concrete epoxy for better grip after the provided lag bolts spun. That is the only reason we didn't give it 5 stars. Otherwise, it's great. The best part is you can move the columns and store when not in use."

works great
Pros: single person install, "portable"
Cons: max height is 45" or 48" with included extensions, you made need to convert your existing garage door
"it works as advertised. the only difficult part about installation is that: a) u must have at least 4 inches of cement underneath rated at 3000psi or better. b) drilling holes takes precision and time. take ur time measuring. measure 2x, drill once. c) checking for leaks after u pour in the hydraulic transmission fluid. luckily, customer service with Dannmar was quite good as far as missing parts (ie shipped 2 days shipping), tweaking, helping to solve leaking problems. Personally, I took my time with the install, probably took me 3 good evenings to install. Note that u may need to convert your existing garage door like i did. i had to change my door to a wall mounted jackshaft opener and change the rails for the garage door so that the door, when open, would be closer to the ceiling. all in all, it's worth it for me. i'm going to save about $1k this weekend for my camry, because the front pipe needs to be replaced. dealer wanted 1400, i bought the pipe for <$300 and with the help of this lift, will install it myself. now wife is a little happier with my "toy""

Great product
"I bought the MaxJax for my home garage. It's easy to move around, and it is light weight.
The lift is strong. I mean I put my car on it and I don't have any fear of it falling or tipping like with some other lifts I've owned. So I'd say it's pretty safe too.
I love this small lift! I bought the MaxJax for my home garage a couple months ago (didn’t know Costco sold them). The posts are pretty easy to move in to place, but I still leave them up more often than not. I was worried the columns might bend, but it handles my F150 fine. The safety locks are just steel bars placed into the posts under the arms. It would take an circular saw to get through them, so I feel fine working under it.

The only problem I had was some slight uneven lifting at first. But you just bleed the system and everything evens out. This is the only two-post lift I’ve found for small garages. Definately recommend this to anyone who likes to wrench at home."
