Quickjack $100 off sale
For anyone interested in this system, Quickjack is offering $100 off on all models through the end of this month. Use discount code SNOW to get the discount.
Just ordered a 5000EXT for myself, it along with all the other models are on back order for 2-3 weeks depending on the model. But the discount code still works.

IMHO a Quickjack is a great tool, but it's no lift.
For doing suspension work or work on the front or back of the car, it does great. For doing a clutch job it can be in the way. Typically I get under and go out from under the side of the car multiple times when doing a clutch job, this is also where I pull the trans out. With the Quickjack you can't get in and out on the side of the car. However, you can use the Quickjack to get the car in the air, put it on jack stands, then take away the Quickjack.
Also, when doing a clutch job, get a Harbor Freight trans jack -

Changed my life when doing clutch jobs. You can safely and easily hold the trans in the air to carefully get it lined up and pushed home. SO much better than balancing it on a floor jack or having a bunch of guys try and hold it in the air when lining it up - been there, done that.

I guess the sale worked because now the delivery is projected for March!

I did some research around garage lifts and jacks for my garage. I came to a similar conclusion as Dale. The quickjack is great for doing wheels, suspension, brakes, oil changes, etc, but getting underneath the chassis to do any work is cumbersome. Which can be totally fine if thats a rare thing.
I'm sold on the DANNMAR MJ-GCE 2 post. I have an attic in my garage, so the half-heigh posts would fit fine. Its not high enough to where I could walk under the car (but I'm 6'3", that ain't happening anyway). Plus I have the ability to unbolt the move the post that would be in the center of the garage to make room for whatever reason.

The Danmar MaxJack is a great product for sure. In my case, I would have to tear out and repour some of my garage floor as I think it is not up to the spec needed for the Danmar. But if my floor had been good enough I probably would have gone that route also.
