with the addition of the fender roller, they have 4 uses. only one is actually useful.
2: dropping your car and putting a huge dent in the rocker panel while you jack it up to change a flat.
3: dropping your car and putting a huge dent in the rocker panel and then getting stuck under the car while you jack it up to change a flat

haha #3 happen to a friend of mine. Hopefully it wasn't him but his hand between the tire and the fender. Ouch. Hopefully for him again, I was pretty fast at jacking up the car so he can remove his

They also work great for removing 1.8T trannys. cus you have to move the engine forward. either that or buy a rediculusly priced VW tool.

I read this post about 2hrs ago. I got inspired, and put together the following. Sorry, only had cell phone camera to take pics. I still need to get it on the car and make the roller and adjustment
knobs.
Excellent original plans, I made mine so it pivots at the wheel.
thanks.
