Since I work alone, probably like most everyone here, I saw this on Harborfreighttools site. I just love that place! Well, I coudn't resist this thing! As usual, there is a learning curve, a few swear words, etc.. but after figuring it out, works pretty well. I did install the drivers door by horsing it on. The reason I didn't use my newest tool, the car was up on jackstands and the tool doesn't jack that high. But I'll be putting the car on the ground soon as I get the front lugnuts, then install this passenger door. I'll let ya'll know how it works. It'll probably be up on craigslist in a few months. Cost was about 75.oo with shipping.

It sure beats my method of strategically placed cinder blocks and pieces of wood...

I'm very pleased with this contraption! After the door was bolted(not adjusted), I was able to take the upper arm off and use the little jack to do fine adjustments, several times I might add! So I give it a :danc!

I have been looking for one of these for a long time, THANK YOU. The last one I looked at was $400 from Brute. This was $68 shipped to me as my store did not carry it.

:pep I hope it works for you! I guess with any new tool, takes a little getting used to it! For the price, can't beat it!
