oh the GM jacks scare the **** out of me...theyre the size of a honda jack, but look even more fragile. I remember i used to jack my caprice up and you can literally watch the thing bend sideways. and when you pump them up you either smack the tire iron off the ground, or put it the other way and smash it off your door...errr

Exactly, maybe that's what the guy meant. I wouldn't take what a few people from that site said and stereotype all the users on it that site.. There's a lot of good information there as well. Plus they are one of the largest forums on the net, so of course there are going to be some idiots there.

screw the handle crank gayness.... hook a big socket on a broken soccket extension with a power drill. Its effortless and takes half the time to raise it.... it works great if you dont have a hydro jack yet.

You acted as if not 1 person on H-T knew what to do with the jack.
When in fact it was what 1 or 2 people that said they found it hard to use, cause of the lack of parts they have.
There will always be dumb questions and dumb posts on every site.

I guess you never wanted to post something that you prolly just learned aswell ......
