QuickJack BL-5000SLX Setup & Testing 
Авто/Мото
Glad to see you still get giddy over toys and that you still show your mom! Even more glad she still puts on the smile and says "that's great!" What a nice mom.
I ordered this exact unit, BL-5000SLX. This video is concise, complete and very well presented by Brian. He makes it easy to set up, easy to work and easy to refer back to in case it is needed.
Thanks Brian for the time you took to go through it all so we can get right to using this jack.
I am very much impressed and wish to order for my car please let me have information to get it .Details to contact .
Very nice option for a small shop with space restrictions. Wonderful to see your mom at the end. Seems like a wonderful lady.
Thanks Brian. You sold me on this. I've wanted something like this for some time now. (Other unites took up to much space) We have a car and minivan I do the maintenance on and this would make it so much faster and easier when doing work on each. That was a nice touch seeing your mom at the end. Great video.
Thanks for the review and the details. I will be buying one later this year. They have done a nice job of improving these units over the past year or so. Great solution for those of us who like to do our own work but don't have the space to go all in on a full lift.
Purchased my Quick Jack last month from Home Depo. They had the best price I could find. Also ordered the extra pinch weld blocks and the hangers for the wall. Your video was right on the money for assembly and I didn't need to follow the confusing directions. Hands down best accessory I've ever purchased!
Kudos to Mom for joining in! Cool review! Thanks!!!
Hey, I just wanted to say that this tutorial is one of the best I have ever seen. I watched it probably five times because I was having so much trouble with my QuickJack assembly. The instructions are not very comprehensive and so your video was greatly appreciated. I sure hope that you teach or coach or something because you have a great communication skill. Again I really enjoyed the tutorial and I hope you make many more. Thanks
was already sold on the lift from the videos and the website- this detailed review is great!! it's a no-brainer now. thank you
Brian, very cool new toy. Your happiness is infectious-really fun to watch. Mom in the BFATE is priceless! Keep doing what you love. 😎
Your going to love that lift! Perfect for low ceiling garages. Nice upgrade Brian.
Just ordered the 5000slx . Sooo excited! They make different blocks and offer extensions to safely raise the car even more.
At the start of the video I wasn't really convinced this tool was worthy but by the end I changed my mind. I really like the fact it is portable. Thanks for sharing the info Brian.
+Ozzstar For the convenience and the money it's pretty tough to beat!
Welcome buddy. You can get in the door of the car really easy. The only way to beat it is an in-ground, but then you have high costs, high permanence and lose ground work area.
Have you seen Charles the Humble Mechanics videos working at the VW dealership? He works on a single pole in-ground lift with 4 arms. They're ideal for light 2wd cars, but SO expensive to purchase and even more to install.
+briansmobile1 I remember seeing those single pole in ground lifts when I was a kid back in the day, they were popular in many shops. i'm 45yo now. I couldn't imagine the cost to have one of those suckers installed these days!! Keep up the good work, take it easy
Excellent video. I just learned about Quick Jack a couple days ago, and I'm not doing research to decide if I want to buy one. This video was *very* helpful. Thanks for making it!
I am happy that bendpak send you this lift Brian, you are starting to get the recognition you deserve
+Andrea Gili Thanks Andrea- I work hard at this, but really it's about you guys. When you all appreciate it and I get the thank you's that's what I'm in it for. The perks just further enable me to do it better. The fact that I can support a family doing what I love like this is just awesome. Thanks for your support!
Awesome video Brian! I have a scissor lift now. It's in the way when you're using it; and it's in the way when you're not using it. These look like the answer for collision repair. Thanks for sharing.
A prime example of a great setup and test video. Thanks, man. I'm really, really tempted to dip into the savings account for a QuickJack. I loathe jacking my car up the traditional way.
You may have sold a quickjack to me with this awesome video. I'm impressed you didn't throw a "that's what she said" in there after saying you'd like a few more inches, as well. You showed great restraint. Kudos.
Great tutorial bud! I hope when I get mine next week that it goes as smooth as your first time setup. I’m looking at others who had all sorts of leaks and crap, started to give me a bunch of buyers remorse! Your video gives me renowned hope!
great video, much more detailed than others which you need. People are looking for detailed info not glossing over anything. Great job!
The latest revision has quite a few less fittings and even quicker to put together. Thanks for the review, helped me make the call on buying one.
*i just got my BL 7000 EXT but i wasn't sent all of my connectors and such for connecting everything from the pump to the jacks. i sat for two weeks not being able to finish setting mine up before i finally insisted that they send me the parts or come get this thing, take it back and give me my money back i finally got them to next day air me the rest of what i needed and i should have one of these videos up myself soon though i won't be as pleased with my whole experience. i hate when i tell people what's missing and they either only half listen or want to argue with me about how wrong i am. the first tech support/customer care email got me 1/4 of what i was missing then an arguement ensued about what was missing from the remainder of my kit. once they listened to me finally and sent what i needed all is good now BTW kudos for not raising the jack up all the way without a load on it, even though it's all through the instructions not to do that you would be surprised by the number of people that got these jacks and still raised it all the way up on the first run with the jacks. and we'd all like "a few more inches" but you can get more height if you use the Truck and SUV adapters. I bought those with my 7000 EXT that was also one of the things that bend pak initially left out of my order and i had to call back in to get sent to me*
I love mine. There are many times you have to get a car up off all 4 wheels, and aside from installing a dedicated lift in your concrete these things are amazing for that. I have a C5 Vette and getting it up in the air is a breeze compared to other options. If you do any serious or frequent car work, you need these, it's a night and day difference.
Can’t wait to setup mine! Thanks for the demo. The only thing I wish you could’ve added was where to add safety support. The book stated don’t go under car without a safety stand.
Thanks, Brian.
Nice product. AND, it's got mamma Brian Seal of Approval!
Nice save on the straw.
Smooooth move, Ex-lax 👍🏻
I literally just watched your video today. And when you said happy Valentine’s Day at the end I was trippin out lol.
That looks like fun! A quick jack like that would be nice since the ceiling in my garage isn't quite high enough for a true lift.
What a fantastic review, brilliant thanks Brian.
Well done. I'm planning on getting this lift, and you're video explained everything I wanted to know.
Trying to decide between the 5000TL or a maxjax. Good to see someone I trust do a review. I like this design.
Great video.I has my 2019 STI all the way up and couldn't figure out how to get it to go down.When I pressed down one side started to lower but the other did not!IT groaned and groaned.I watched your video and read the the manual.Lifted up the cam on the drivers side,pressed down and she lowered.thanks again!
Great thorough review mate...you have a good presentation style and offered valuable tips. I'm gonna get one.
Those are pretty slick. Driving on them would be nice though so you never had to move them.
+sixtyfiveford weld them to the frame lol
Wow! Didn't realize the lock cams worked that way. After loosening up the nut, it locks and unlocks properly. I was doing it manually. Cool vid
this its perfect brian. tanks for your videos and time .
Super nice garage! Thx for the storage tips. Just received mine. :)
Thanks for the detailed view Brian. I was thrilled to see you post this video since I really wanted to see how the new version looks and works. I am certain that I will be getting this model soon. I was a bit disappointed to learn that this new model BL-5000SLX has a maximum height an inch or two lower than the previous BL-5000XL version. They added the safety cams to the support beams which lowered the maximum height a bit. However, I did some research and learned that QuickJack makes an SUV and Light Truck Adapter set for $220 on their website. These are stackable steel and rubber spacers that look to add either 3" or 6" depending whether you use one or two of the steel spacers. This looks like a great option to address any height issues. I would post the link to the product but RUclips will not allow a paste in the comment field.
+dojmike That's right. It's in the manual- didn't know the price.
Great video. Thanks... looking to buy one of these soon.
Thanks for showing the bleeding part. Saw one video with no bleeding, one where they stood it up to bleed air, your way looks easier, maybe messier but that's what rags are for. Good review
Excellent video. I found your presentation very genuine.
Dude you got some sweet toys ! That thing is nice for the buck !
Very well presented - I just ordered one.
Very insightful video on this product! Thank you.
Thank you for the excellent review! I may have to invest in one! Unfortunately I have to redo my driveway so that it is level.
Great Video Brian! Thanks!
I like the Mama seal of approval. 👍🏻
Awesome review. Thanks.
I'm so jealous Brian! You have no idea how bad I want to have my own shop and say goodbye to the days of doing auto repair in crappy weather.... sigh.
Am I seeing a touch of melanoma on the bum end of your wagon? Perhaps a future video!?
+Brad Nimbus I feel you Brad! I've put years in working outside in Ma Boyle weather. Rex has that cancer- and...YES! 3M sent me some of their good stuff to sample on that. I've actually done a lot of that sort of work. I'm waiting for a little better weather. It's Siberia out there right now!
Great review you explained it perfect and took your time thanks
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing
Now that's cool. I can't get over the price on these that allow most DYS'ers the opportunity to get a lift. Ha I totally forgot the 14'th , thanks...
Great vid :) Thinking about grabbing one of these myself but still have to check if it can be used between my Honda Accord Tourer and my Honda Civic Type-R (EK9) which don't really have the same lenght between lifting points or wheelbase so... need to measure first but... Great vid!
I love these videos, they really make me feel like I can tackle some of my own repairs, and I'm excited about maybe getting a QuickJack. Here's a question: Any advice on how well a QuickJack would work lifting a Ford Ranger Pick-up? I think it needs to be lifted under the frame, which is a little further inboard, somewhat shorter and/or not the same height front and back. I see QuickJack has a truck/SUV adapter set that looks promising. Thanks! - Jim in CT
Brian, Great video. One of the best. There are some safety probs. Always use jack-stands. There is no lateral support on the jack's back legs and inadequate lateral support on the front legs (needed from top to bottom, not part way. A good push sideways would drop the car. Plan on doing some welding. Even then, use the stands.
I want one of those :)
"Wouldn't mind having a couple more inches" lol...... Had to do it. Awesome review!
Well hello Mrs. Brian's mom! Your boy puts out great videos!
Great video Brian
Thanks for the awesomely in depth review.
+PhilogusRex You're welcome. Seems a teaser video is easier to make and watch, but this is all stuff I would want to know before laying down that much cash. I'm not the most entertaining, but I try to make reference stuff that watches easy.
+briansmobile1 I would have to disagree, one of the big reasons I subbed was because I enjoy your attitude and personality. As for the lift(s), I've been eyeballing it(them) for ages. Unfortunately still not in the budget, but probably the best option for my workspace(driveway slightly slanting sideways downhill). Hope you have an awesome Valentine.
I struggled to get my post tensioned slab x-rayed and tested to safely drill the holes for anchors for 2 post lift install in my 9' ceiling garage. Now I'm thinking isn't this option just overall better choice? 1) It seems safer since balancing isn't that critical concern 2) Yeah two post will go much higher but I think it is more comfortable to lay down on the creeper than sit and stressing neck.
I've got a empty bay and I'm going to look into get something like that also.
Thanks for sharing this. Great details on this. Can you stack some blocks to give you a few more inches in height?
Well explained. I would opt for the 12v just for the portability. I guess 110v would be ok with a generator or maybe an battery inverter
My Quickjack finally crapped out on me. Basically, it wouldn't go DOWN all the way. The folks at Quickjack HQ tried to help with some suggestions but they eventually gave up at the point we determined one of my air cylinders was leaking. I paid a local hydra fab company to rebuild/replace the seal in one ram for $140 instead of buying a new one from QJ for $200. I've reassembled everything and they still don't go down very well and neither side will hold air pressure. QJ says it takes the weight of a vehicle to lower the lift, but we've all seen demos of the QJ going up and down without weight. I'm afraid to lift my vehicle and test it out because it might not go down and the QJ blocks the jacking points, so there's no plan B! Also, I did wash and detail my car a lot while up on the QJ and all the water caused the joints to rust - I wasn't good at lubing it. It lasted about 5 years.
It's nice to finally see a review on this from someone I trust.
I'm thinking of splurging on a 7k lbs and trying to get and idea on the cheesy factor going on. When up, does it feel solid? Would you feel comfortable buzzing around under a car on your creeper doing this and that? I also see that they seem to leak like a siv, my guess is probably improper installation of the quick connects.
You are also the first person to mention having to bleed the system!
It seems to be absolutely perfect for my needs but I'm afraid to dish out the coin only to find out it's just a bottle of snake oil in disguise.
I hope you Mother enjoyed doing that oil change for you... you deserve a break. LoL
Merry Christmas to you and your family from your big bearded buddy in The Great White North.
Random Comment. Just wanted to say your channel has helped me out with many things. Just wanted to say thanks. Cheers
+mobgma You're welcome! Great to hear it!
Wow, I need these right now! I have to replace the guibo, (flex shafts) on my bmw Z 3and need to get it up in the air a few inches. How did they work out
Dude your very entertaining in your vids, watched a couple you had me laughing. Good work Thanks for making them
i think i am going to have to pick one of these up. finally got me a home so im not going to waste money for oil changes anymore
thanks for the great video
Nice comment on valentines day, small price to pay for a valued commitment.
U done a great job A Plus. !!!
that is really damn nice!
Very good video. Thank you.
Thnx for sharing 👍🏻
Excellent video
Wow, very nice. Hey, since you got your lift, do you find yourself staying cleaner? I am working on a creeper and I always get so dirty. Also, are there jobs that are easier on a creeper than on a lift?
great job partner .👍 looking into this for a samurai project.. maybe I should get it for my wife for an early anniversary gift 🤔...merica 🇺🇸
thank so much your video .....i think me buy one today
Every time you said Alexa my Echo went off! ...lol
+mikeallenbrown1 NICE! First world problems. ; )
Mine too, 5am out on the patio and I'm saying Alexa stop!!
the only problem with putting the jacks in sideways is if you have to work on a muffler or cabling that runs from the front to the back of the car. Also the BL 6000 XLT is longer for the electric vehicles since they all have a longer wheel base.
Thanks for this
This is a great jack,very EZ to use
i liked the older safety stops they had, seemed more rigid than the cam type. wouldnt they just wear and round out?
The manual I saw says that the lifting blocks can be stacked for additional height. One small block is 18" lift height but if you stack the blocks you can get up to 21" lift height. There's the extra few inches you were looking for.
IME much less stable when the rubber blocks are double stacked as per manual. I returned my QJ after a major failure of the QJ. Subaru OB ‘11 was raised with the QJ and the locks engaged. While considering to keep a jack stand with me before crawling under the OB one of the QJ slid inward and under the OB. The rubber blocks apparently slipped off each other allowing the vehicle to drop fast on one side. I needed two floor jacks to get the vehicle safely onto the ground. I lost all confidence in the QJ. IMO the two QJ racks need to be secured together and never stack the rubber blocks. I would not consider any of the expensive QJ accessories to help raise a vehicle higher than with one rubber block.
2 Lifts you are one bad man! That lift would be great for under dash work or quick tire and brake work Best of luck
+Joseph Tucci I'm blessed. Thank you!
Nice it comes with a compressor!? Sold!!!! I’ve been seeing them with Manuel foot pumps
hydraulic fitting you do not have to put Teflon tape on the compression fittings but it's a extra precaution
hey Brian if you can do a review removing a transmission with the quick jack please
I really got a kick out of you talking to Alexa while you're working on the video. LOL
wicked.
Hahaaaa you act like I do once I get new tools. When I got my new Milwaukee M18 impact wrench, I started removing engine parts even though nothing was wrong with the engine lol.
Hey Brian, I've noticed that this is no longer available at the amazon place. Just wondering if things started to happen and they were taken off of the market.
Great work btw
I'm setting here watching this tutorial and when you start talking to your Alexa my wife's Alexa starts yapping. I had to turn the volume down just so I could watch the video in peace. How well is it holding up after 4 years of use?
You're really reviewing the cardboard and instruction quality
thats nice but what would you do if the jack pont on a car is roted away and there no place to put it
IfI don't have the air hose to bring it to 50 psi, what would you recommend? do you have an air compressor at home? thank you. Very good video by thw way!
after having the lift for a little bit, would you recommend using it for winter storage to keep the car up off the ground?
Love your videos!!! Now someone tell me..... who is the celeb he sounds like????
if I want to work on my (lifted) jeep do you think it's safe to make a riser block in place of the oem pads, to gain hight to meet my lift points?
0:10 get down, get ~funky~
