Electric Scissor Jack

I am currently speaking with Sebstian at UPC Inc, the parent company of Generator Depot who distributes these jacks.

Another ROC member posted his pics of this jack and his experience. http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11889

Now our conversation will set up ROC as a dealer so individuals can order on their own and no one will be held accountable for ordering. All you will have to do is call and tell them ROC to get special pricing. Pricing has not been set yet but it looks like to be wholesale.

I'll keep you posted.

SWEET ... thanks boxsky!

Go boxsky! You'll save me a trip to Harbour Freight and some money.

Yes!!! That's what I talking about. Thanks for arranging things.

Most excellent! I'm in. :)

I'm in as well - my experience a week and a half ago proved to me there had to be a better way to lift the RL to change a tire.

Think they'll send me a check for the price difference? :rolleyes:

SWEET ... thanks boxsky!

And ONDLICKS too!!!!
BTW, I'd pitch in towards a "finders fee" :)

Why thank you there geotech, no need to pitch in. Somebody always has to be the lab rat, I'm just glad it worked as advertised........:)

Right-O Geo ... muchas gracias ONDLINKS for opening our eyes to this find!!!

ONDLINKS I know hwat you mean.
I trying to set this all up and I won't even get one for free.:(
You're the founder, I do all the work and the masses get all the benefits.
Sounds like Corporate America at work.:rolleyes:

Thanks for setting this up!

So when do we find out how much they'll charge us?

Troy

No worries boxsky, I hope you get a great discount. The cost difference will not make or break me. I'll just have to cut back on the wife's gift this year:D

Count Me In !!! Nice work Guys !!! :)

It won't be until the new year. I'm told wholesale which I would think in the 40-50 range but that is just a guess.

T Mac is helping me on this set up. It is a little different from others and it would also be for everyhting that UPC Inc sells and manufactors. So it could be a great thing for more then the jack.

I know they sell generators, camping equipment and some other items. One of their dealers that sell UPC Inc items is Camping World.

This is sounding better and better...good job Boxsky.

Yeah! Both of you guys deserve a round of applause!! Great work and thanks from the two of us as well….

I'm in if it's $50.

Here is UPC website. They are adding automotive accessories. http://upcintl.com/index.php

I'll pay $50.00 for it.

Thanks BOXSKY and ONDALINKS. I gotta get one of those. At least one.:cool:

They have pricing for me but I couldn't get back to them in time. After xmas.
FYI.. they originally wanted higher price up front then reduce in the back, I will be going for either level or reduced up front. This will help them and those in the beginning. I'll refer them more if I got the lowest price. and not the guy a yr from now.;)

i'll keep everyone informed.

Guys,

Please count me in on this. This is perfect for my needs.

Thanks & Merry Christmas.

I noticed this Jack being sold in Fingerhuts Christmas Catalog for $69.99 (and they are usually a bit overpriced)..Guess your paying for the convience ???
I'll wait awhile,and see what comes up here. Thanks for the hard work at getting something done for the Members !!!!

Is it the 2 ton jack. There are only a few out there and the 1 ton is only 59.99. It also only has a height of 14 inches. The electric makes it so much quicker. i plan to use it instead of my floor jack which only raises 16" and need to put a 4x4 under it raise up enough.

The one that Fingerhut has (I believe) is the 1 ton jack, not the 2 ton jack that boxsky is working the deal on. GeneratorDepot.com has the 1 ton model for $59.99. One critical difference, aside from the weight capacity, is that the maximum lift height is only 13.75 inches for the 1 ton. The 2 ton model goes to 17 inches.

Eight of these available on ebay for $60

Careful... Those are the 1 ton model (max height 13.75 inches) not the 2 ton model (17 inches).

Good looking out Rick !!! I'll have to check,thanks !!!

Not reading clearly during the holidays - I saw the 2 in "Max weight capacity 2000lbs" and immediately thought 2 tons. Thanks for the catch. And I haven't even had my egg nog yet!

You're welcome!

Eggnog!!! Now you're talking my language!!! :D

I have searched everywhere on the net. You will not find them cheaper then 80 SHIPPED. You can save money on a manual scissor lift but I'm lazy and like to save time.:D

What is the status of this group buy?

After the holidays more info will follow. This will not happen over night due to the nature of this long term group buy.

Ok, got all the info today.
The price of them will be 52.95 each. However they will need to be ordered thru me, shipped to me and then shipped to you. They want us to buy quantities of them and will not discount them the way they orginially said.

Now the shipping from them to me is the problem. It is very expensive to order just 5 of them. The min order needs to be 30 to make it worth while for us. Then I would need to add shipping to you.

So it break down like this 52.95 + 10 (S/H them) + 7-10 (S/H me) = 69.95 - 72.95 approx. This would save you about 10% from direct ordering from them.

Before I put out 1800.00 I will need deposits on them. So now who is interested?

NEW NEWS!

They are talking about giving ROC a discount of 10%. All you will need to do is enter the code. I should have more info by Wednesday on this.

So for those of you willing to wait another week or so at least we will get some type of discount. $8 is $8.

These guys are very near me. http://www.hooksetter.com/prod01.htm
I've just contacted them about their jack. Anybody know anything about this particular product?

Not enough lift. Only 15" high

Great news...not as good as originally discussed but a discount is a discount. :cool:

Use code ROC10SPECIAL, exp Feb 28th.

Thanks for the code. Awesome forum. :cool:

I've visited the UPC web site but still can't find this electric scissor jack - site says "Coming Soon" under the "Automotive Products" section. What am I missing?

Use this link http://www.generatordepot.us/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=37 it takes you right to the 2 ton Electric Scissor Jack page.

This is a better link (http://www.generatordepot.us/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=37). FYI for all the potential interested buyers, there is FREE SHIPPING!! I'm not sure how long this will last. So, to sum up, I got the discount, free shipping but I had to pay sales tax. Overall, I would say this was a good group buy. Thanks Boxsky. :cool:

I just ordered one, got the discount, free shipping, and no sales tax to MN!:D

Got the same deal, really easy to order online. Tax in CA :( Thanks Boxsky. :)

-Matt

Reminder this discount code ends Feb 28, 2007

I should have given a better link but by now i thought everyone probably knew.:rolleyes:

Went ahead with it. Thanks, Boxsky. The above link didn't work for me. At the main page, I searched for "2 ton" went right to it. Easy order. :)

71.99 AND FREE SHIPPING I ordered one and should be here soon. Hope it holds up well as the one that comes with the truck is absolute garbage. Thanks for all the good info on this as well as many other things...:cool:

I received an emil from them today and they are seeing the orders. If they get a good response they may make the discount for other products in their line.

yeah 71.99 no tax and no shipping is a pretty good deal. Actually for a $30k+ truck, it should come with this type of jack already.:mad:

This is killing my wallet. Stop with the deals already. Ahh...I've spent too much already what's a little more. :D

Done deal, less than 5 minutes to order even for a 2 fingered typist.
Thanks Boxsky!

Don't forget to give a thanks to ONDLINKS for finding the jack, trying it and posting it (with pictures).

Before giving thanks, wait until you get it and try it out. You guys may be trashing me by the weekend.:o Na, I think you'll like it.:cool:

For me it was a easy decision since I will be rotating 2 sets of rims and tires. I also had a bad experience changing out a flat in the dead of winter on my Ranger work truck. The electric jack sure would have been handy that day.

$72 including ship, no tax for some, not bad!:) Well done!!

Any problems with the cold??? Does it bind or hesitate at all when using or does it need to warm up?

Just wondering from a guy who's changed tires in the snow.

I changed out the flat in the winter the old fashioned way, trying to find the Ford OEM jack behind the seat, on my back releasing the spare stored under the bed, of course the carrier was all rusted and such. It seemed like hours cranking the jack, trying to bust free the lugs with the little lug wrench was a pain. All this on a busy road, not good.

Now that I'm prepared, I will never get a flat:(

Oh, the electric jack is powered by a 12 volt DC motor geared to a large threaded bolt. Cold weather should not effect it, just a little grease on the threaded bolt should be all you need!

Just ordered my electric jack to replace the one I had to use on a HOT & HUMID 90+ degree Florida day. Hope I don't have to use the new one, but at least it will be easier. Thanks for putting this together.

This is killing my wallet. Stop with the deals already. Ahh...I've spent too much already what's a little more. :D

No kidding... I didn't know how ignorant I was about all the stuff I needed for my truck before joining the ROC. :p

I keep finding things I would never have thought about if it wasn't for this site.

Thanks for all that was involved. :D

I am now $71 poorer :(

Never had a flat and I own 3 floor jacks :rolleyes:

Its that Virgo thing, always prepared.............:eek:

For me it was an easy buy. My 2nd floor jack took a dump so I'm going to use this as the replacement. A decent floor jack costs at least 40-50 anyway so this will kill 2 birds.:D

Well they told me we are up to 23 orders so far.

just got mine in the mail yesterday,,very nice case it comes in and it appears to be well made and heavy duty. I think it is a good buy and I will be using it when I swap out my studded snow tires on the acura. Really hated using the stock crank jack that came with it took forever to swap out tires. Will carry it it the ridge and if i have an issue with the ATVs might come in handy there also. I like it and for 70 bucks it is one of the better buys out there. my 50 cents

Include me as part of the "buying bunch".

Mine just delivered by UPS. I haven't tried it out yet but it appears to be well made.

Yup, yup, it arrived today and looks solid.

Got mine today also and had to try it out. I do need the 2" board underneath. At full extension it got the tire to the point with force I can spin / slide it. I do have 1" larger tires then OEM though too.

Mine was delivered by UPS yesterday!
It's packed and ready for this weekends off-road adventure.
Dang my wife is getting sharper. I had it unpacked and laying out when she came home and when I told her what it was and that it would really be great out at the ranch, she said "then why did you tell me you needed that Hi-Lift jack you bought a while back".:o
I have got to start writing my stories down so I can keep them straight.:confused:

Mine came in today. I will be taking it with me on a road trip to Northern VA this weekend.

Mine just arrived...

Do we all have an empty small plastic bottle in the box? Does anyone know what the bottle is for? There is no cap on it to seal any fluid inside. I hope it wasn't full of oil at some point. There is some oil inside the box but there doesn't seem to be enough to have come from this bottle if it was full.

Yo Rick, unscrew the cap, turn it around and you will see it's to be used to apply the lubrication of your choice to the workings of the jack ;)

Hey thanks ONDLINKS!
Wonder what it says about me when it's easier to pull out the digital camera and play show-and-tell on this site rather than looking a litle closer and trying to figure it out. :o

Did anybody get the wrong receipt ???

Would you explain more?

I tried mine this morning on the right rear corner. The jack worked fine but just barely got high enough. This was on a concrete floor so if it was used on a softer surface a 2X6 would certainly be needed. This is a big improvement over the OEM jack though.

Mark Twain, I think it was.
Anyway, I just ordered my jack. These achey old bones will appreciate it if I do get a flat. Make no mistake, though, AAA gets first shot.
I just like gadgets. This one will make my daughter jealous. :cool:

Just placed my order - thanks to all involved for finding this and obtaining the discount! Ordered one of the wind-up flashlight/cell phone chargers, also. :)

The hand-crank flashlight was just another 10 bucks, so I figured what the heck - it would probably be a neat emergency light, but never counted on it working with my cell phone. Well, I just tried it yesterday, and much to my amazement it does work with my Samsung A900! Great little bonus to go along with a great electric jack. :D

Dang! The cell phone charger is the thing.
There was a family in the news lately who might have benefitted from that. :(

I got mine yesterday. This is an excellent jack for a great price. The free shipping and discount are icing on the cake. Thanks for finding this deal!

I got mine on Friday. I couldn't wait for a flat tire to test it so I ripped the box open like a 7 year old would at Christmas and whipped it under my truck for a test drive. I had the ignition off and used one of the front lighter sockets. I was pleasantly surprised by 2 things.

1. The motor speed barely slowed down when it started lifting up the truck even with the engine not running. I would have thought that it would have strained a little harder with the weight of the truck. This shows me that this jack was built right.

2. The motor on the jack did not even get warm to the touch after jacking my RL all the way up and almost immediately down. This again shows that this product was built with quality parts.

After using the OEM jack for my "the jacked up truth" thread and then comparing it to this jack, I came to one conclusion. Buying and using this jack vs. the OEM jack is a "no brainer." This jack is better in every way than the OEM jack. The jack saddle is more compatible with the RL jacking points and the base has 10 times the area of the OEM jack. I feel much more comfortable putting a piece of wood under this jack to make up for the height deficit than the puny OEM jack base. This jack would be a better jack for the RL even if it were not motorized. Not having to physically operate the jack besides pushing a button is icing on the cake. If you are not that strong or are small of stature, you must buy this jack. The OEM jack takes quite a bit of effort to operate. Trust me, I know.

If you haven't bought this jack yet and have the money, you should not hesitate. It is worth every penny and then some. This jack is so good, I'm thinking of buying one for all of my cars. I did a demo of the operation of the jack for my wife. She usually frowns on all the crap I buy. Not this time. She tried to take this jack from me and put it in her car. :eek:

If you have to ever use the OEM jack in a pinch, you will curse yourself for not having one of these. Until you try it, you really don't know how crappy the OEM jack is.

I got mine a couple days ago. I know from all the other posts that it'll work good, but I have to try it myself. Today. I love gadgets. :)
I'm considering buying one for each of my (adult) daughters. Probably will.

Just ordered the jack today ,the stock one looks pretty lame,and does't work good acording to you guys.I allso had a thought ,using this jack on my trailer . I carry a battery pack power sorce with a compressor built in,so if the power cord won't reach I can plug it into the powerpack. hmans3

I thought you would be a good judge of the jack if you got one.

I appreciate the ROC sticker but since I have one displayed and a back up, how about seeing if Boxsky would like to have it for his work on getting the discount.

I made a 1" extention that eliminates the need for the piece of wood under the jack. Let me know what you think.

I checked out your fix to the problem. I like it. I think that I'll do something similar. Your solution fits in the trunk a little easier than a 2 X 6. I may add a twist to your solution though. Stay tuned....

Any machinests here? It doesn't look like it would be too difficult to make a replacement for the factory lift pad, but 1-2 inches taller? I can't see in the pics how the round pad attaches to the bracket and I'm too tired right now to go out and look. :)
Anyway, I'd pay a fair price for one like that.

Thanks ONDLINKS. I thought man, I lost all credit for this. See a little team work on this site pays off. Ondlink finds it, I make a few calls to get a discount and then the birds come to feed. :)

Thanks for the work guys, I just ordered one today. What is the lead time for recieving these ? Thanks

Thanks to both of you. I ordered mine today. The ROC discount was applied. I also ordered two of those little crank flashlights. The offer was still in effect even though it says it expired. I got one for the wife for Valentine's Day. :)

Very romantic gift there, my friend. ;)
Are you giving her the jack, or the flashlight?
Truth is, some women actually like stuff like that.

The flashlight/phone charger. She has AAA and my cellphone on speeddial so she'll never need the jack :)

I was ribbing you, but I'm sure you know that. We always hear these jokes about guys giving their partners power saws and the like.
That flashlight/cell charger is actually a very good gift. That family that recently got lost in the snow might have benefitted from one of those.

I'm not but I have family who are. I wonder what kind of market would there be for that block.
If it were a taller metal pad, to replace the factory one, I'd be interested in seeing a prototype and price. I still haven't went out and looked at the one on the jack to see if it's feasible to replace it.
I'm talking about the rounded pad that actually contacts the vehicle.

Takes about 7 days, but really depends where you live. The discount is good till end of Feb.

As for a pad, I'm thinking f sonething similiar to ONDLINKS but usean epoxy base filler. I don't want to add it perm because it won't fit well into the case.

Just got the new Bass Pro Shop catalog in the mail. They are showing a 12 DC scissor jack for $49.95. Looks good in the add photo.

No details in the catalog. Searched their web site with no luck. Maybe a one time item for the 2007 Spring Sale at stores only.

It most likely a 1 ton. $72 for this jack is the cheapest you will find out there for this type of 2 ton electric jack.

It most likely a 1 ton. $72 for this jack is the cheapest you will find out there for this type of 2 ton electric jack.

The add quoted $69.95 regular price, maybe some ROC head close to a Bass Pro Shop will check it out. The add I received was from the Nashville, TN store out by the Opryland Hotel.

$72 is cheap enough, even though I have a little hydralic jack that works fine (also with a 2x6 underneath, however) and I keep it neatly out of the way under the rear seat. I also have a big racing jack in the garage that lifts the entire front or rear end and I use that in conjunction with my jack stands for tire rotations. But hey, you can't have too many tools around. I must also say that they have one of fastest websites to order from (took me 5 minutes tops). They even send the tracking number when the items are shipped and that is a nice touch. Add to all this the free shipping and no sales tax, buying this jack was a no brainer. Thanks OP.

got my jack on Friday. Tried it out in the house with my battery pack . It works ok but seams to go up pretty slow. The directions said you should have the vechicle running . Will try again with it pluged in the truck running to see if there is any differance. hmans3

It does go slow. But not as slow as using the OEM jack. I carry a rubber band and use that to keep the button pressed.

I agree with Boxsky. I'll wait 90 seconds to get a sure, safe lift...:)

To lift faster it would need to draw more current. A lot more. My physics is rusty, but maybe someone else could take a shot at the problem. ;)

I ordered the jack online. I do have a question for others that ordered online.

When going back to the website, were you able to get a confirmation that the order was placed?? I got an e-mail of the order, but when I go the their site and put in the order number they provided in the e-mail...It says basically that the order doesn't exist.

There's an "N" where it says in stock... This mean they're out of stock? Wonder if they're still taking orders? :confused:

I did call...they couldn't tell me anything, but did take my name, number and e-mail address..said I would here back from them within 24 hrs.

I don't think anyone here has had a issue with ordering online, at least none reported. I would give it 24 hours to show in thier system.



.

And when you pay with a credit card, you have the protection of disputing charges. I agree with ONDLINKS, I have not seen any derogs spoken against this company.

I bought one and the buying experience on their website was fine.

I've been talking to them about our number of orders. They have been extremely busy with getting new products in and have been slow to respond. I wouldn't worry but there may be a slight delay.

I look at it this way. We all have been carrying the OEM jack and a few more days shouldn't hopefully matter. Unless you are the one to get a flat:(

My last tally was 32 but I think we well pasted that mark. I'm trying to get them to extend the offer and get the discount across their product line and future products they are adding.

Me too. I ordered mine pretty early on, and the transaction was a good as it gets. I hope this company gets more cool stuff for us.
exA4

I oredered mine a couple weeks ago, received it a few days later. Only problem I had was the roc discount code only resulted in a 1/100% discount of 8 cents. When I emailed the company, they promptly credited me the 10%.

I am very happy with the jack, and very satisfied with the customer service.

I ordered on line recently and got the jack quickly and with the appropriate discount. No problemo. I tested it and it does just fine on hard, level ground. On the shoulder or grass, you'll need the 2x6 under it.

There's an "N" where it says in stock... This mean they're out of stock? Wonder if they're still taking orders? :confused:
Update,... They did call me within 24hrs. Brich, when I ordered the jack I didn't notice that it was not in stock. I asked about that...the rep said timing was pretty good as they were expecting a new shipment of them today or tommorrow, and mine should be shipped out Fri, or Monday at the latest.

The website still shows that the jack in still not in stock. Although over a week ago I spoke to a customer service rep and was told they were expecting a new shipment within a day or two, and my jack would be shipped right away..All I have recieved to date is a charge on my credit card.

I'm thinking about calling their customer service number 1-800-894-1179, but I'm not so sure to believe anything they might tell me since what they told me over a week ago seems to have been BS.

FYI
The code is still working. No official word on how long but they did not shut it down. 10% still off for using ROC10SPECIAL.

Most everyone here seems to have gotten good service with these guys. Maybe the shipment was delayed. There has been some pretty crappy weather around the country. I's go ahead and give them a call.

Agree, everyone got good service. Early I wrote that they were experiencing delays for internal operations. It is possible that the shipment got delayed from China. I'd call them.

I called and spoke with Jordan in Cust Serv. He said the shipment I was told about, did come in on Fri, the 23rd...But that shipment did not have any of the 2 ton jacks on it. For some reason the shipment was split into 2. He couldn't understand why. Also said the next shipment should be in soon.. Maybe tomorrow or early next week, and said the jacks will definately be on this shipment.

So, it looks like at least another week out. I just need to be patient. That's hard for me when I pay for something, I like to have it quickly.... LOL

I wish I hadn't waited so long to order this...I could have used it a few weeks ago. My daughter called me on my cell..."Daddy I have a flat tire". It was only about 15 degrees w/windchill of about zero. I was out and it wasn't convenient for me to stop home for my floor jack..What a piece of crap the factory jacks are. I think the jack in her Cutlass Supreme is worse than what is in our Ridgelines.

I too want to thank Boxsky and ONDLINKS for their effort in setting up this group buy!

I think it will be worth the wait for you. I would love to know how many jack sales were generated here, not only from members but also the many guests who view this board...Hey boxsky can you make a inquiry about this? Just curious.....

ONDLINKS

I have but have not heard back yet. It's how I found out they were busy with all the internal changes. I will again. My count was around 35 but some may have ordered more then one and others never said anything. Also i know the code is still working and it appears to work across their product line.

Thanks! I'm sure they could give you a number at some point of sale increase since this was all started......Not a biggie, just interested in how a forum like this can benefit a company/product......Thanks again...

My guess is 60 with an over/under of 15. :)

I just got emailed back. As of 2/15 they were at 41. No word on final number yet. That's not bad for a 2 month special. So I quess around 50 as of yesterday.

I'm still in the game :)

Looks like a good spike for them and a royalty for you is in order.......

I won't hold my breathe for that royalty.:D

Hey, Chris did send me a sticker atleast.

The worst part is, if I could have gotten definiates from people I personally could have gotten them in and we would have gotten a bigger discount. The more I ordered the cheaper the individual unit would have been. They would have been closer to 15-17% off. Not that it's much money but I like to save so I can spend somewhere else. :cool:

I ordered the Elelectri Scissor Jack.
I am still waiting for Delivery to me.
I recieved an Email from them today that there shipment was delayed.
Hopefully it will come in this week..
So they can ship to me and others that maybe waiting.

At least you got an Email from them...How long ago did you order the jack? I ordered one 2 weeks ago, and was told it was good timing as they were expecting a shipment of them before the end of that week....was told that when I called last week too. Sounds as though they were just yanking my chain!

I also placed an order two weeks ago, sent them an email on Friday, no response.

I ordered an emergency flashlight on the evening of 2/24 (Sat), and it was here on the 29th, Thurs.
This was as much an experiment as anything. So I got both my jack and my flash in pretty good time, and with free shipping.
They passed, IMO. :)

You're right. I was looking at the March calendar. I got it last Thursday, so it was 3/1

I saw what appears to be the same jack (2 ton on the actual package) in our local Harbor Freight store for $59.xx. Here's the jack in their online catalog (priced at $69.99). While it kind of appears to be the same jack, the published maximum lift heights differ, so I can't say with certainty that it is the same jack. If it is, 59 bucks is a great deal.

Hello any idea on shipping for those of us that ordered???????

I called the 800 number I had from the web site. The recording said that I could check order status on the web site. Yea RIGHT :mad: nothing on the web site provides a place to check on the order status that I could find.

So I talked to someone that could take orders (that person answered right away), and she gave me an different 800 number to contact customer service. Suprisingly, no one answered :mad: , so I left a message asking for information on the status of my order, so far, no reply.

I'm (im?)patiently waiting for my jack.

Hello any idea on shipping for those of us that ordered???????

No idea. I didn't deal with customer service. I dealt with their sales dept. Don't forget these come from China. Delays can happen.

Should have ordered it sooner instead of waiting till the deadline.:p It's not like you can go anywhere to buy these. I would ask them to refund the CC until it is shipped or ask for a bigger discount for the wait.

Any update on shipping?
Still waiting?
Hopefully they will come in this week?

I ordered on the 27th. They were very prompt at charging my card but I haven't seen an actual product yet.

Roak

Ps. If they are charging us without shipping the product immediately, they are in direct violation of their Visa agreement -- if you paid by Visa (page 11, "Delivery of Goods and Services" -- card-not-present transactions)

Page 44 clearly states in "Information on when credit cards are charged." You should not bill the customer until merchandise has been shipped.

http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/rules_for_visa_merchants.pdf

Page numbers referenced are the page numbers printed in the document, not the PDF page numbers.

When I call customer service yesterday, I left a message. I did get a response today (on my home answering machine). They said the container was seriously delayed, and that they expect the container on Monday the 12th.

Did not state when they expect to ship.

If they charged my card before they ship, not right but as long as the jack shows up before I have to pay the bill, I'm not going to have a problem with it.

The charge showed up on my credit card the very next day. Monday the 12th will be 3 weeks since I ordered from them. Everyone talks about the great customer service of this company,...I'm not a bit impressed !

I called them twice, and both times they told me the jacks would be in by the end of the week....I realize they have no control over when a shipment comes in, but I don't think they should bill you for an item they don't have, and they could send out a mass Email to let customers know about further delays.

seems like a long time for a B/O..

Ok I hear the problems for a few of you. I can understand both the company and the client sides of everything. These things can happen. However the company should NOT be billing your card until they are ready to ship.

Here is the email for the person I dealt with. YOU DID NOT GET IT FROM ME! sebastian@upcintl.com He is in sales and they are the ones who helped put this deal together with me. They want to build their relationship with the ROC and if the few write to them it may wake them up a bit.

Ok I dropped Sebastian an email lets see if that helps any..
Thanks for address

I received an email from Sebastian today regarding the open orders, He will check in to them and get back to me I will let people know what he has to say,,,

I just saw on their website that the 2 ton jacks are now in stock. Hopefully those of us that have paid for them already will recieve them soon!

Ok Web Site Say's They Are In Stock...
Lets Hope They :) Ship Soon>>>

Received an email today that my order was shipped. :)

YES
I got an email saying my jack shipped via UPS Friday 3-9-07...
Should be delivered by Thursday....

Received an email today that my order was shipped. :)

I, too, got an e-mail today saying that the jack has been shipped and gave me a tracking number for UPS :cool: .

I also forgot to add last week that I got a call from the shipping dept. on Wednesday morning saying that the container was delayed and they expected it in on the 12th and would begin to fill the orders then.

Now I am just waiting to get it, so that I can play with my new toy :D !!!!!

Toby

My jack should be here today via UPS..
Will give it a try when I get it....
:)

Only 25 days after placing my order and 24 days after my credit card was billed. I have finally recieved my electric scissor jack and emergency flashlight. I got the products and credit card bill the same day..Go figure.

I know when a product is out of stock, there isn't much a seller can do. But I read others that recieved Email, or phone calls about the delay in the shipment of these jacks. I made 2 phone calls, 1st was the day my card was charged, and was told the shipment would be in by the end of the week. The 2nd was the following week, and was told that shipment was delayed, but DEFINATELY would be in by the end of that week....Did not happen.

I think If they called and/or Emailed any customers, They should have contacted all of us who had been billed and not recieved our merchandise!

BTW the jack and emergency flashlight seem to be decent products. But a warning to others: don't order anything that this company shows as not in stock, if you expect to recieve it in a timely manner.

This jack rock when it comes to tire changes on lowered cars.

Just changed out my snow tires for summer sneakers. Jack worked flawlessly................

Ordered Feb 27th, arrived March 14th. I just wish they wouldn't charge your card until they had stock to ship, which is what their agreement with Visa stipulates they must do.

That's true?
It amazes me how much a merchant (Visa) can stipulate to those who pay for the services. I guess I'm old fashioned, but I expect anyone I'm paying money to to accomodate me!
Ask my doctor. She understands who's paying for her services. She works at a HMO, and she's a good doctor.
Ask Bill Me Later.
Sorry, I'm a little annoyed with CC companies right now.
I agree they shouldn't charge you before they ship the product. But McDonalds does it too, don't they? ;)

Has anyone checked the fuses in the jack they just received? Mine came with a broken fuse in the remote control fuse holder. I also noticed that both the installed fuse and spare in the remote control along with the fuse installed in the lighter plug-in were small amperage fuses. I could not find a amperage rating on the fuses but the looked like about one half the rating of the spare 15 amp fuses furnished. I replace all the small amperage fused with the 15 amp spare fuses furnished.

Jerry

There's a potential for quite a rat hole here, but what the heck...
That's true?
Yes, see reply #160 in this thread for a link to a Visa document.

Sounds like maybe you're a merchant, let's for the moment assume that you are...

1) As a merchant, you need to make an informed decision if accepting Visa helps or hurts your business. If you decide that accepting Visa helps, you enter into a binding contract with Visa which requires you both to play by the rules set forth by the contract. You DO NOT enter into the contract THEN complain and/or not follow the rules!

2) As a merchant, using your own reasoning, you're the one to accommodate ME, right? Taking money from me and giving me nada for some indeterminate amount of time annoys ME, similar to the way you're annoyed at the CC companies. But I have a choice, as do you. I can go elsewhere, just as you can go elsewhere for credit card services if you don't like Visa's rules.

What's sauce for the goose...
I agree they shouldn't charge you before they ship the product. But McDonalds does it too, don't they? ;)
That's a card-present transaction, completely different animal as you can see if you look at the document I pointed to in reply #160. In addition, they're not going to charge you for a burger if they're currently out of them and they're not expecting the truck for another three days...

Roak

There's always one. :p Defender of the american way, indeed.
No. I'm not a merchant. If I were, I'd probably go broke.
I have no personal troubles with visa. I'm a cardholder in good standing, except that I always pay the entire balance. I know that's not fair, but they get plenty of money from the merchants imo. Merchants who, by the way, often don't have a real choice as to whether or not to accept CC's and debit cards.
My annoyance stems mostly from the way they take advantage of unsophisticated (mostly young) people. Abolishing bankruptcy has really emboldened the money lenders, hasn't it.
Everything else is mostly blah blah blah, because I agreed that they shouldn't charge before they ship.
Sorry my friend, but you got so excited that you didn't thouroughly read my post before formulating your reply. That's okay.
I probably should have replied by email or pm. I'll not discuss this further.

Looks good and a nice price. I can't find the lift range on the floor jack, any idea?

I have been following this thread and almost ordered online. Was in the local Target looking at the end isle clearances and noticed this same jack for $25 clearanced. Never would have recognized it but for the good photo posts. Never ceases to amaze me how helpful this club and its members can be sharing information. Thanks to all.

I can see the appeal, but I still prefer the electric scissor jack. Many of the floor type hydraulic jacks I've tried, especially the inexpensive ones, take forever (many strokes) to raise the car. And I just don't trust those cheap impact wrenches at all. I guess you could finish torque with a regular wrench after spinning the nuts on with the impact.
How often do you need to pump a tire up? I dunno. I do check my spare.
To each one's own, eh?

If the picture is accurate, the saddle unscrews similar to a bottle jack. That alone would give it (just guessing) a couple extra inches of lift. I have not actually seen this, just the pics online in the link I provided. But buying from Costco.com, it can be returned for any reason by sending it back, or returning it to a store.

I agree with part of what you said.. Yes the inexpensive hydraulic jacks sometimes take several strokes to raise a car. But I would wager it would still take less than the 90 seconds it takes the electric scissor jack to raise it.

As far as the impact wrench...I have a large air compressor and several air tools, including a 1/2 inch impact that has enough power to snap a wheel stud
if you turn it up all the way. Even though I am sure it would tighten the wheel, NO PROBLEM, I snug them up with the impact, then always use a torque wrench to make sure the wheels are tightened properly. Out on the road I may not have a torque wrench, so if using the impact, I would snug them the same..and for the final tightening use the lug wrench.
The little air compressor, I agree...pretty much a waste.

But like you said, and I agree...To each one's own, eh?

I have two hydraulic jacks in my barn. One floor jack and one bottle jack. I went with the eletric scissor jack because I didn't want to worry about a hydraulic leak messing up anything else I had in the trunk.

Speed was not the issue, ease, reliability, and no leak risk were important to me. :cool:

To tell the truth, the electric scissor jack is a nifty gadget, and I really like nifty gadgets. :p
Besides, if I stop to help a cute old lady (I'm 62) and pull out my nifty gadget (watch it), she's going to think I'm really cool. :cool:

I checked out the company who makes/supplies these jacks http://www.larincorp.com/product_detail.cfm?ProductID=4

Nice item, but doubt it would be much use with the Ridgeline, not enough lift.

Where did you see the lift height? The lift range of 5 1/4 isn't all the higher it goes. I did say I haven't seen it, so it might be useless. I might order it just to find out though.

Have you had your hydraulic jacks leak?

I too have a couple of hydraulic floor jacks, and a small bottle jack. I can see the bottle jack leaking by tipping over, but I personally haven't had a hydraulic jack leak. Besides if it did, the trunk has a drain plug and can be hosed out.

All my hydra jacks have leaked on me. Spend 100 on a floor jack and 4 yrs later it is leaking and need a new one. That's a nice set up but doubt it is even close to 17"

I guess I've been lucky. The oldest floor jack I have came from Sears about 20 yrs ago, and has been used to death...and has never leaked.

Believe me , not trying to say the jack is useless but it looks to come up short for a clean 17-1/2" lift (for changing tires) using the Ridgeline lift points.

I just can't see this jack going that distance. Of course I may be wrong and hope you find out. I may buy one my ownself :)

It must be the old craftman. The jacks I owned over the past 10 yrs were all craftman and all are now in the garbage. Maybe i'm too hard on them.

I saw this Larin Deluxe Roadside kit on Amazon.com. I'm sorry, for some reason I can't add the link tonight. It lists it as having a lift range from 5-1/4" to 21". There is a customer review also. He states that when he bought it the package slip says it is an SUV jack.

You can go to www.amazon.com and search for Larin DLRK-4500

I checked out the company who makes/supplies these jacks http://www.larincorp.com/product_detail.cfm?ProductID=4

Nice item, but doubt it would be much use with the Ridgeline, not enough lift.
The listing on Amazon says the following:
"Includes a 2.25-ton car jack with a lifting height range of 5.25 inches to 21 inches"

A reviewer posts:
"- The minimum height of the jack is high; it barely makes it under my Corolla. The description above calls it a car jack, but the packing slip calls it an SUV jack, which is more accurate. Be careful if you have lower ground clearance."
:confused:
Looks like it would work to me...

exA4I guess you don't have beaches near you? A small pump like this, provided it works decent, is great for those who have to lower their tire pressure for driving in sand. Come off the beach and pump up the tires. There's your answer... :D

Larin makes a good jack. I have a big old red Larin 3 ton garage jack that I bought at a tag sale for $5 a few years ago. It weighs about 70 pounds and takes about 6 strokes to lift the Ridgeline up. No leaks.

That said, I would not want that big heavy thing in my trunk. I bought this electric jack for emergencies, and I've had a few roadside tire problems with this truck already. For this purpose, it works great. I use a 2 foot chunk of 4x6 underneath it to add to the lift.

Pismo Beach. That's the only one I know of that you can drive on, and it's a couple hundred miles south. I hope none of the ones around here go that route.

I have the Electric Scissor Jack Keep in my trunck for flats.. I have used 3 times on others cars or trucks works great.. I keep a small piece of 2 X 6 with it, also made a topper for it out of PVC which I saw on a post about the jack a while ago makes the jack grip frame better.

All ands all the jack works just fine and is alot better than OEM jack.......

:)

I just saw this set up on costco.com....thought it was a decent deal, and a covenient way to change a flat out on the road. I thought others might be interested too..didn't mean to make waves!

Please except my apologies for being the doubter :o Wish it didn't work on the Ridge, now I gotta have one!:)

Hey, No apology needed. I had doubts too. But I kept looking at the picture, and it does show that the saddle unsrews like a bottle jack, which would extend it's lift height.

I stopped in Costco this afternoon to see if by any chance they had it in the store...No luck. It must be an online item only. But they are offering free shipping.

I'll be checking my local Costco tomorrow. Not a bad price for all you get, now if I could only duck that pesky sales tax.

My RL just turned 1 month old today. I never took notice of the jack before but since reading this thread, I thought I better check it out. I guess it really is a cheapo little thing. Anyway since I had it out already, decided to make my own "el cheapo electric jack". I keep my cordless drill in my trunk all the time anyway so I gave it a try. Just attached a 9/16" socket. Not too shabby considering what it is and only 9 seconds to full extension with no load. :cool:

You cannot post this without trying it under load. That's the law. ;)
I have my doubts, but please give it a real test then let us know.

Hey Everyone I Was Just On E-bay And Saw A One Ton Ez-jack Looks Like The Same One I've Seen Here With A Buy It Now Price Of $24.99 +shipping ($20.00). Sounds Like A Good Deal To Me. He Listed He Has A Few Hundred Of Them Available. Go To E-bay And Type In Electric Car Jack. Good Luck Sully.

That is similar, but it's only a 1 ton jack with lift of only 16 inches. The jack that several of us bought from this group buy is a 2 ton, and lift height of 17 inches.

Late chime in here...
Ya I missed the discount but non the less I ordered this jack from Generator Depot. It arrived in about a week. Used it yesterday in my driveway to rotate my tires and am very happy with it. Much thanks to those that found and shared info on this cool item. :D

Finally had an opportunity to use this jack with the Ridge while out in a high pasture after ruining a tire on an old culvert pipe. This was the crowning glory to a truly awful Monday. The jack worked so well that it actually took the heat out of my frustration. Considering the where, when and the how of the situation, it, as far as I'm concerned, paid for itself!
Thanks again for sharing this great product. :)

Does anyone know who has the 2 Ton Electric Scissors Jack in stock? I have tried Generator Depot and they are out of stock and do not know when they will receive them again. I would like to purchase this item. Please email me direct jimmybecnel@cox.net if anyone has information on this product.

Thanks,

Here's a link to the manufacture / importers page on the jack:

http://www.upcintl.com/products_2toncarjack.php

And here is a dealer map with contact ifo:

http://www.upcintl.com/locatedealer.php

One of these guys might have it in stock....

I looked at this jack and decided my AAA card was a better fit....:rolleyes: :)

I can't find the link for it online, but I found the Electric Scissor Jack at Harbor Freight Tools last night for $49. It only raises to 14," but it's more than adequate for my wife's car.

Exactly why I bought my Ridgeline!;)

Anyway I have a two ton hydraulic scissor jack in my trunk... That way I can use it on my Travel Trailer as well as the Ridgeline if necessary.... But I am still calling AAA first!:D

It might work on your RL too if you don't use the factory jack point. Here is how I use mine. This jack point is not the factory jacking point. I have not had any problems in using his jack point. What you do is up to you.

But will AAA come to your driveway and rotate your tires? :D
This jack is not just for emergency's young Jedi... :cool:

As a bonus gadget, I just picked this up. Fits nicely under the back seat next to the jack in the canvas bag that comes with it. Used it on my wife's van in 16 chilly degrees the other night and it worked great. :)

Harbor Freight Tools. You can't use the OEM jack point with the one they sell beccause it is does not extend far enough to jack the truck up but you can use it under the suspension arm on the front or the back which IMHO opinion is a much safer jack point. (See video and picture link below.)

http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m69/HondaRidgeline/Jacking%20Video/?action=view&current=100_0008.jpg

PS. The one in the picture is the one that everyone bought from Generator Depot that is tall enough to use the OEM jack points but the shorter reach 14" total height jack from Harbor Freight will reach high enough to jack the truck up as pictured above. :)

I received the jack. Works great! I did have a little problem, which I corrected / fixed. When using the jack make sure you plug in the wire into the controller correctly (as it fits both ways). There is a notch for the wire plug to fit next to the other connection, but can be easily put in the wrong way resulting in the jack going to far down, which may crack the plastic gear case cover. Be sure to insert it correctly then tie strap it, so it stays in, and you do not mistakenly insert it wrong, especially in the dark, and render the jack useless when you need it.

I had to remove the plastic cover on the gear case, re-glue part of it, and reinsert the screw gear to get it back in order. The jack was not harmed.

The jack is well worth the money!

RidgeLI,

I'm looking for one too. Where did you get yours? Or did you purchase the Harbor Freight model? Thanks!

I just used my 17" lift jack to swap out my tires and wheels. For those who rotate their own tires or have two sets of wheels and tires, the jack makes the task easy. Unfortunate that the 17" jack is hard to come by now.

ChrisM's idea of using the 14" jack at the points he showed, should be a great alternative.

Did you need to use your Cape May booster Dan ?

Absolutly, I'll take a boost anytime. :)

Thanks! That was the route I was going to go if the 17" lift is no longer available. Man I wish I read this thread awhile ago!!:mad: :o I hope the Harbor Freight model is built well....

I'm still waiting for the 2 Ton Electric Scissors Jack. I have found several suppliers that have the one ton but they claim to be out of stock on the 2 ton model. I think these jacks may be coming on a SLOW BOAT from China. I know the demand is high but I guess we will have to wait. If ayone knows of a supplier that has the 2 ton scissors jack available, please let us know.

The jack that (VOICESINMYHEAD) refers to only raises the truck 15". I am looking for one that lifts the truck 17". I have even made the adapter to give you an extra 1" more lift, totaling a 18" lift. Check out Jacked Up Alternative. I have been told that these are being shipped in from overseas. I have added my name on a list and hopefully I will be contacted. I definitely want this jack. I upgraded to new Acura MDX 18" Rims and tires and want to have the flexibility of rotating my own tires easily. Please give me a shout if anyone knows of any supplier having this item in stock.

Thanks,

Lex Luthor:D

For you people who are looking for a 17 or 18 inch jack, why don't you buy the 15 inch jack and bolt it to a 4X4 piece of lumbar. Now you have a jack that lifts 19 inches. :eek:

With a extention bolted onto the base, it won't fit in the nice carry case that it's stored in. The carry case fits nicely under the rear seat without rattling around. This is what works for me. http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/173831-post1.html

IMHO, you should always jack a vehicle up off of hard wood lumber. If you are on dirt or grass your covered, if you are on fresh or hot (read soft here in AZ) asphalt, you are also covered. Why risk it? I paid enough for the truck, a couple bucks, or couple minutes scavenging in the garage for scrap wood is well worth the insurance it gives! :D

YMMV, BIDC :p

I agree with ONDLINKS. :) I would like to keep the jack in the original storage case and store it under the rear seat. I will keep a small piece of 2 X 6 wood in the trunk. ONDLINKS inspired me to buy this jack and also convinced me to make my own 1" extension. My problem is that I have been conviced to buy the jack and have been trying to buy for the past 4 months. The good news is that the 1" extension is already made.

I bought this jack off e-bay (one-ton, 16.125" height) for $45 delievered. Worked pretty good on my wife's van rotating the tires this weekend.

Did anyone try contacting the company I set the group buy up with last time. It saved us about $10 a unit. Just a thought.

I am still trying to find a suplier that has the 2 Ton Electric Scissors Jack in stock. Does any of our ROC family have any updated information. I sure want to buy one. Please email me at jimmybecnel@cox.net.

Lex, I keep checking myself and I'm hitting a brick wall.

Mine is not, I repeat, not in the trunk. It would do you absolutely no good to look there, no sir-ree Bob. Nope, not there. It's a-a-a lost. Ya, that's the ticket. Lost.

This 17-1/2" jack found by scottIN as been sitting in another thread for a while. It's a pricey item, almost double the UPC jack. It has some extra features though, a power wrench with sockets, built in light, and flip down positioning mirrors. Like a Swiss Army jack. :cool:

Too complicated for me! I'll lose half of it within a month. :D

Used my 2 ton UPC jack yesterday to pick, not my RL, but my 65 Thunderbird that had a flat front tire.I used it under the front bumper (a real bumper) to pick it up so I could get a floor jack under it. Worked great. :)

Does the distributor we got ours from know so many of you are looking for one? I don't know if they can tell if you simply check their site.

Most any RV place has them also.
