i understand someone should rely on this tool for automotive work but how would it stand up?

We used it to build a garage foundation and then the garage itself. It was rock solid and worked great. Withstood several significant drops and kept on performing. This became our Go-To tool.

It's used on lots of auto work. It will hold up a lot. It will not make the torque to put in large bolts. But junkyard techs have this very tool in their hands at all times for dissasembly

I have had my Makita for a year I use it daily for working on cars. It's the best tool I own. Highly recommended! It holds up just fine.

it would have to be a strong drill, air impact would probly work better but then the threads would probly come out. i used a 1/2 rachet with a socket i made just for the lift..the threads came out of the block..its a POS and i would not recomend except for light light duty couple times a year. if you value your hands and fingers get a better lift. read my review and use you own jusdment

In my opinion, it won't hold up long. I would get something that's just for car trim.

It sounds like your use would be less continuous than industrial work like auto bodywork, I think it would be fine. It's quite a large tank, I don't use the tools you mention but it refills fairly infrequently when using impact gun etc. Maybe someone else can chime in regarding the tools you use.

Car Stands typically use a pin or other solid metal stop, to hold up the adjustable component. While these stands are rated at 6000 lbs, and should suffice, the failure mode is not as robust as a stand using a pin or other solid metal indexing design. If the nut threads fail, the car could end up on you...as opposed to shearing a pin / bolt. It likely will work, but extra caution would say...get a jack stand that uses something solid, not a nut/bolt if your life is depending on it. Other examples similar to this, that are designed to carry a car engine or other heavy component have a much longer threaded sleeve.

It is a general tool for car vent. Mine won't stay still and I have to insert a paper clip wrapped with black tape on the bottom to give it enough support.

You should have experience working on cars and the appropriate equipments (jack, safety stands, .5" sockets... common sense) before you undertake this installation. There are a lot of safety issues involved in securely raising the car and making sure it does not injure or kill you. If you're not sure about it, I recommend you take it to a qualified garage for installation.

Have a schematic of the vehicle. It is a very useful tool for many electrical tasks.

The tool will work, but it won't have half as much power as it should. The tool will require more cfm.

Sometimes work space is an issue, noise duration, I have a long and short in my tool box. I work on cars for a living and run into many different scenarios. But its basicly a preference thing.

Absolutely, I've had mine for a few months now and it has no issue taking lug nuts off a car, the portability of it is extremely convenient for working around the house or even a shop.

you will need wood but if its on sale and you just want to save a buck it works. It's more of a comes in handy when you don't have a helper kind of jack, in random situations not so efficient for automobile work imho...but with some wood it'll do the job.

HI, I would guess that depends on usage (how heavy). I am using for taking care of my own cars.

It's my Guess that it WILL stand up. It's very solid. Of course have another there to do a test weight load.

I think it would be asking alot from this tool, Yes it should provide a good finish on a car, but for me it would take alot of practice to perfect

It the best damn product on the market, these morons auto parts here in Texas don't even know what this tool is, i highly recommend this for every mechanic . It will save you a lot of money after you sad tree mechanics learn how to use it. GOOD LUCK

I think this will do fine. We were not happy with it because it was one solid piece and not made well enough for large heavy tools such those used in electrical and plumbing jobs.
