Scissor Jack Adapter


Recommended Posts

Hi all 

This looks like an interesting bit of kit for us old farts who struggle to use a scissor jack - haven't seen one before and is a great idea !

Hello Rich

                 I welded nuts on mine years! Ago so I could use a socket and rachet drive (end of problem)

Roger _ why didn't I think of that! An even cheaper option so long as you remember to keep an appropriate sized socket in the car! Thinking about it ( not my forte!!), if you weld an old wheel nut on it, you will always have a handy socket ( unless you have wire wheels )

I've seen someone use an old socket, with a slot cut into it then drilled through for a bolt, so it interfaces with the scissor jack much the same as that ebay item, but is driven more directly from the impact wrench.

Hello All

                  This how I did mine with a 19mm hex the same as the uprated wheel studs and nuts.

I made a wooden plate to fit on the top to spread the load plus could be used anywhere!

The turned down bolt head locates in the jack top
