Pretty dam cool...probably cost prohibitive for the weekend wrench though?

You could probably make a manual one similar to an office chair.

Nice! One thing though, if you're clumsy like me and likely to hit the wrong lever under the truck and can't reach the armiture... what then?

Hopefully it's priced like a cd changer and harbor freight will copy. :)

It's not real.

I know this indubitably, because I saw it about two weeks ago on Foxnews.

Saw this on Invention USA and thought it was pretty cool as well. And yes, the inventors got a deal, on the show at least, if I remember correctly.

Don't hate me for thread jacking, but I got this as a christmas present from one of our subs at work today. Its bright as hell and has a magnetic pocket clip. Im looking forward to lighting up those deep engine bay crevasses next time I've got some work to do.

That thing would pay for itself ten times over where my knees are concerned.

I saw it too. But, they WERE talkin' like $1000 for it.

when you use the wrong lever when under the car wonder who gets sued when your head hits. for sure some lawer would be right on this

looks like you need BOTH hands on the controls to raise it, so im guessing that would be the safety angle?

Ok
I think it's cool but they are running up under a truck!
In our shop we don't have a lift and I jack the cars up as high as I can get them and use the lowest creeper I can find.
Usually I just crawl on the floor because it gives me the most room to work.

Just saying....
