After my weekend Brake fluid flush I realized it would be better to use a floor jack instead of the Boxster jack just to make it a bit easier and to avoid skinned knuckles.

1.5 tons = 3000 lbs which will support an entire 2750 lb boxster if necessary. Should be enough to get jack stands under the car and certainly enough to lift the wheels.

What do you think about this one? Comments? Suggestions?

Pit crew quality design, machined from lightweight aircraft aluminum with a sapphire anodized finish
Industrial quality for professional mechanics and hardcore automotive enthusiasts
Rapid Pump® exclusive dual parallel pump system lifts with far fewer pumps
Universal joint release provides precise load control in any handle position
Meets international quality standards
Two piece knurled aluminum handle for a sure grip, equipped with foam bumper to prevent damage to vehicle finish
Rubber saddle pad to prevent marring
Compact size for easy placement

Minimum saddle height: 3-3/8"
Maximum saddle height:14-3/4"
Pumps (under max load) to max height: 5
Overall dimensions: 22-13/16" L x 9-7/16" W
Tool weight: 26.8 lbs.

Video Is that a Cayman in the video?
