Scissor jack modification.

My Mazda BT 50 has a scissor jack as standard. But it's not easy to get under a rear axle/diff banjo if ya stuck belly deep in sand/mud. So I have used a highlift & I carry a bottle jack as well.

Yesterday I bought an Hitachi 13mm drill + 2 x 4.0 a/h batts + high torque impact skin to carry in the 4WD. (A Fathers Day special I bought for myself).

I cracked the nuts and spun them off the rim of a wheel in no time at all with the impact driver & a 19mm socket.

I fitted a 14mm socket to the square drive end of the scissor jack handle & used the impact driver - it has heaps of torque - to raise the 4wd (the square end of the jack handle won't fit into a 13 mm drill chuck).

Easy peasy.

Cheers
