1. I've never seen a screw jack with a thrust bearing. It doesn't need one. In fact, you want high friction between the nut and bearing plate to prevent back off. 2. Proof load of grade 5, 3/4 inch NC threads is over 28000 lbf. Corner of a pickup tuck is maybe 2000 lb max. 3. Requires trained operator. If you want to sell this to retards, sure, add a stop. 4. Not sure why tube diameter is an issue. Most house jacks are 3x diameter gap in tube. Only the bearing hole matters. 5. The only semi valid point in this list. A cast sprocket may have issues, I haven't worked with them much in terms of welding. If it's machined from billet. Probably fine. 6. Mild steel yield strength: 250 to 600 MPa, Rebar: 400 to 1000 MPa. 7. All depends on the application and forces involved. The construction has a solid column of steel from load to ground. Welds are for stability. I'd have to run FEA in SolidWorks to see how much force the welds actually have to withstand. 8. Lifting pad is only to prevent kick out. Load on any jack should be placed directly over the column. 9. Go have a look at retail screw jacks. They don't use hardened steel. Unless you plan on running this up and down 80 times a minute for a month straight, I'm sure it will be fine.

Some kids had a flat tire once in front of my house. They had a scissor jack and was going to use that to jack up car. I made them come up to house and get a couple concrete blocks to put under car so if it fell, it would not fall on them. Kid could not get wheel off, so he was laying under car and was kicking tire. I got him out from under car and showed him how to do it. Sometimes we need someone who knows better to point us in the right direction. Welding this jack up seems like a bad idea

I hate to be that guy on the internet, I hate that guy, but, concrete blocks, I’m assuming cinder blocks, are one of the worst things to put under a car, the give zero indication they’re about to fail. And When they collapse they collapse fully. Had a guy last year went missing, his family found him a week later in the far side of his property under his project car, the cinder blocks turned to dust. Even using them “eyes to the sky” with a wooden block across the top they can still fail. I say this having crawled under my fair share of mobile homes doing duct work, but they’re meant to be supported by cinder blocks, the cinder blocks haven’t been tossed around the yard for years, and they’re all eyes to the sky, on thick pads, with wood toppers under smooth I-beams. So unless you’re talking about those 80-100lb solid concrete blocks we used to use to weigh down cultivator discs I wouldn’t recommend getting under anything sorted by cinder blocks not meant to be supported by cinder blocks.

1. I've never seen a screw jack with a thrust bearing. It doesn't need one. In fact, you want high friction between the nut and bearing plate to prevent back off. 2. Proof load of grade 5, 3/4 inch NC threads is over 28000 lbf. Corner of a pickup tuck is maybe 2000 lb max. 3. Requires trained operator. If you want to sell this to retards, sure, add a stop. 4. Not sure why tube diameter is an issue. Most house jacks are 3x diameter gap in tube. Only the bearing hole matters. 5. The only semi valid point in this list. A cast sprocket may have issues, I haven't worked with them much in terms of welding. If it's machined from billet. Probably fine. 6. Mild steel yield strength: 250 to 600 MPa, Rebar: 400 to 1000 MPa. 7. All depends on the application and forces involved. The construction has a solid column of steel from load to ground. Welds are for stability. I'd have to run FEA in SolidWorks to see how much force the welds actually have to withstand. 8. Lifting pad is only to prevent kick out. Load on any jack should be placed directly over the column. 9. Go have a look at retail screw jacks. They don't use hardened steel. Unless you plan on running this up and down 80 times a minute for a month straight, I'm sure it will be fine.

Some kids had a flat tire once in front of my house. They had a scissor jack and was going to use that to jack up car. I made them come up to house and get a couple concrete blocks to put under car so if it fell, it would not fall on them. Kid could not get wheel off, so he was laying under car and was kicking tire. I got him out from under car and showed him how to do it. Sometimes we need someone who knows better to point us in the right direction. Welding this jack up seems like a bad idea
very bad
I hate to be that guy on the internet, I hate that guy, but, concrete blocks, I’m assuming cinder blocks, are one of the worst things to put under a car, the give zero indication they’re about to fail. And When they collapse they collapse fully. Had a guy last year went missing, his family found him a week later in the far side of his property under his project car, the cinder blocks turned to dust. Even using them “eyes to the sky” with a wooden block across the top they can still fail. I say this having crawled under my fair share of mobile homes doing duct work, but they’re meant to be supported by cinder blocks, the cinder blocks haven’t been tossed around the yard for years, and they’re all eyes to the sky, on thick pads, with wood toppers under smooth I-beams. So unless you’re talking about those 80-100lb solid concrete blocks we used to use to weigh down cultivator discs I wouldn’t recommend getting under anything sorted by cinder blocks not meant to be supported by cinder blocks.

@ericfluty3257 well it's not a jack stand, it's a "jack" unless you didn't see it lift the back passenger side wheel off the ground in the video...
It’s a homemade screw jack. They have been around a very long time
And so was the jack. But this beautiful thing is a hybrid. Why? I have no idea, but there it is. I've half assed a lot of tools in a pinch, but I'll pass on this one.
@@thrashmetalordbut they are not made of mild steel thin nut and threaded bar. Imagine if that few relatively soft threads will support the truck's weight for long.
2024 Darwin Award nominee right there.
That's a jack. They've been invented for centuries.
Perfect for changing the tire on my wheelbarrow.
Too big to fail 😂😂😂💀
Not sure I'd trust it even that much
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤪😆😂😜👍
1: 12" section of 3/4" threaded rod 1: 3/4" threaded nut 1: 12" section of 3/4" I.D. seamless tubing or equivalent 1: 3/16" plate steel coupon ~4" x 6" 1: random timing chain sprocket from the junk drawer 1: ~6' section of rebar 2: welding rods of your choice 1: cut-off wheel grinder of your choice And 30 minutes of your time..... Or.............. You could go to Wal-Mart or Harbor Freight and buy 2 for like 30 bucks. Then, at least, when they fail and kill you, your family will have someone to sue, so that you dont leave them with nothing.
With this guy, the welding rods are probably 6013. 🤨🙄😑
That's a 1/2" rod. I'm an Ironworker. Been doing rebar for over 20 years.
@@mr.g4516 Even more reason to chuck it under a truck and test it out with your rib cage.
@@MyMomsADadNow We'll start with your head first.
What are the odds of getting a flat tire and not having a jack but you do have a welder, generator, and the right materials to make that?
A cinderblock will get you the same unalived ending
Everyone is entitled to make bad decisions. Some people abuse the privilege.
Then there's THIS guy, making a career out of abusing the privilege. 🤨
Some people are idiots posting on youtube like you who abuse the privelege
I had no idea the jack wasn’t invented until September of 2023!
Hahahaha
My father only had to be crushed once, too. Died when I was 8. If you have a family, please be careful. At least add some more reinforcement and welds. I think what you're doing is cool but toughen it up more.
I've used one for years back in the 70s we had them in our steel fabrication shop that was around before I was born. Nice job making one out of scraps
Didn't check the trunk for an actual jack?
Ha ha
No, he'd already converted that one into a pipe bender
@@Ricardo_Moto Yep. That checks out.
If you want closely you'll see he jacks the body of the truck up with another Jack. He just uses this for the leaf springs to raise the tire off the ground
@@rogrambo to continue the cycle of why bother.
Don't suppose we will get to see the video where the truck falls on him......
😅
Dead people usually don’t upload videos of their death
If he survives to post it, maybe
If his wife records it we will get a jrff foxworth "here's your sighn" moment.
Nobody intelligent trusts their life to a jack alone
The hydraulics are made and tested for a weight range. The heavier the weight class the thicker the threading is.
When you want to quit your job but, don't know how to tell your boss.
The lawyers from Harbor freight are watching and yelling "Don't, we made that mistake before!!"
I'm gonna put this in the dumb shit done for YT category. Dangerous in itself and dangerous in teaching bad practice.
They seem to be fine with allowing extremely dubious, and dangerous short videos from China. Like disturbingly ok with it
It's only dangerous if you're 5yrs old, just learning to weld, and have parents that dont care about you. If you already survived to adulthood you are probably smart enough to not do this. Or just really lucky which also works in your favor.
@@tonycardone990you clearly are not. Imagine pretending to be a knowledge and wise professional welder and believe that a small but with few threads will support the truck's weight. Let alone the mild steel threaded bar. The real self taught KZhead engineer.
@@shoppingrb9544можно взять побольше болт и гайку пошире, или две гайки рядом сварить.
@@tonycardone990or you could just buy an actual load tested jack.
Trusting your life to 20 tack welds... Priceless
Bottle jacks, and floor jacks are cheap at harbor freight. That has trip to the emergency room written all over it.
Q: What's more dangerous than a Harbor Freight jack stand? This guy: "Hold my beer!"
Harbor Freight in the corner like 👀
So many negative "I'm so smart n smug" comments here. These are apprentice pieces where the student is asked to 'fabricate and prove'. Non skilled trades-people don't get it. We can all buy a carjack.... this is a person making one. Derrrh! You carry on buying stuff from "The Man". The amalgamation of these 'spot' welds and threaded rod are ample, and would lift apprx 2.5 tonnes.
When your fabrication skills are so good, it sends you straight to God. 😂
I believe they have those already. They call them jacks. At Harbor Freight. 😳
I'd have more trust in one from harbor freight, despite their reputation
Only for you Muricans. You do realise that there is no harbor freight everywhere in the world, right? We have some other franchises and muricans are muricans I guess.
@@MarioAPNsucks to be you then
@OnTheReg22 yes. I am lacking in life saving skills. When someone says shooter in school, we don't know how to react. Muricans are genetically evolved. Shooter, move. Shooter, move. It is almost equivalent to the primordial urges now. Well, what can you do, we are not privileged enough to enjoy this type of freedom.
@@MarioAPNYou still have something made from the same manufacturing plant... it's just sold under a different brand 🤣 There are something like 5 companies the sell 50+ brands!!!
I feel a more appropriate song for this little short would be: "Dumb Ways To Die"...
I made one and it reduced my power bill by 70%. The powered companies don't want you to know this hack.
Still safer than the harbor freight jackstands
It's a toss up: Which is safer: This or Chinese made rubbish?

Не стоит. На него последнее время подобные ролики наводят тоску, раздражение, а порою и гнев. Берегите нервы Дока. Он нам ещё нужен
The cog is hardened steel. When you weld it, it becomes brittle.
Rust possibly and due accident are possible
welding alone would not harden it further it would take a quench, any heat will cause it to lose its hardness
Invention? No. Improvisation? Yes. Terrible idea? Absof***inlutely
Don't let people see a factory scissor jack. lol... They're gonna lose their minds
Marginal paper weight at best. Or canoe anchor.
Looked like a passable anchor.
@@whocares110 I agree 😂
When you’re about to die but you don’t even realize it
It didn't invent this, he merely copied an idea. As welder, we've been using these in South Texas for ages...
I've never welded anything in my life, and never so much as drilled a hole that a machinist wouldn't be ashamed of. Even I saw this for the immensely bad idea it was.
Truly one of the welds of all time
I agree, of all the welds I've seen this is definitely one of them.....
no doubt one for sure
He actually did more than one, believe it or not.
@@internet_internet we are only talking about one of them though... We will get to the others at a later time...
Wow this is such weld! Can’t believe
