do it 10 times if it doesn't fail yet, the 11 probably not failing anymore.

I am using it for 2 Cars and 1 SUV 3-4 times a year for last 3 years. Still works well.

I did a quick oil change once for a friend. It was a sedan but should work with any car depending on the curb height from the road.

All I did was drive the front wheel up the curb. About half the hard on the curb and there is enough clearance for an oil change.

Now, not every road have a curb for the job. Just use what is available 🤪

be careful i hear this thing will crack and break i found it online kind of danger, i choose to use jack stand ... not this plastic thing

Jack stands for me.

I bought the Rhino last sale but worried about being bug juice if it fails. I'm not sure if my jack stands can go low enough while on these ramps. Do I need chocks for the rear tires or can I put a brick behind each tire?

I bought these and Rhino Ramps last time PA had both on sale. I ended up trying these, along with jack stands I had and cheap rubber wheel chocks I also got from PA.

First time doing an oil change myself and there was enough clearance for me to get under my Odyssey. If anything, because I did it in my garage, the Ody got quite high that there wasn't too much clearance from the ceiling/raised garage door.

Yes, they're plastic, but one thing about these versus Rhino Ramps is that Rhinos have a lot of empty space underneath them so that they can stack and be stored. These Power Fist ones don't stack, but therefore have many more "support beams" underneath. That and the fact that they were cheaper made me decide to try/keep them.

Jack stands for me.

I haves feeling a lot of the bad reviews come from people not using them on a flat surface. I have a gravel driveway so I guess I’ll be returning these.

The two things I do are changing summer/winter tires and changing oil. For those that do this sort of work, would you recommend this for oil + scissor jack for tires, or just getting a hydraulic jack to do both?

I bought something like this twenty years ago from CT and felt very safe using it compared to plastic ramps. Since they are made from s recycled rubber, almost no slippage and feels heavy and solid. Had metal ramps before using this and that thing was nightmare to go up when tires anything but dry.

If it makes you feel better I have been using these exact same ramps for 2 years on my Ford F550 Diesel.

Been using Rhino Ramps for 2 years now with no issues. I don't trust ramps 100% and always use jack stands in addition to ramps in case of failure. They do make oil changes much faster than using jack + jack stands.

They sell these at Fort garry . I used to work there and there was a suprising amount of broken ones just from being dropped or falling off the pallet. Not saying they don't work but they aren't as uh durable as they'd like you to believe. Drop it once and watch a chunk of rubber fly off.

How do they compare to these from canadian tire?
They are $25 more but look to be better quality and +3000 lb weight capacity.

this is the exact one that I have, using 2 years so far no problem

it went down to $60 rarely at partsource, but $70 is pretty good enough i would say

Yea cedar block, rail ties all great after all a freakin train drives over them, best practices always use a jackstand under your vehicle jack points for added failsafe safety. I use the motomaster version of the rhino ramps with my 9th and 10th gen Honda Civics no issues.. I lay a small piece of carpet down or use my creeper all is good for shield removal.
