Default Homemade Electric Jack on the cheap

Had an old screw jack sitting in the garage, and I am to ------- cheap to get a real one. Decided I would hoook mine up. Guess it isn't the most creative but figured I would share with the Nogs. Welded a socket to the end, hooked up the impact and vioala, no more stupid screw jack madness. I had to lay on some bigger welds because my little welds didn't quit hold. Works pretty decent though

I'd also weld a big cup like on a real jack to the top of that... I hate trusting that indentation with the weight of my car.

OEM Honda jack with a 1 1/16" socket hammered on, HF Impact gun = easy change to slicks at the track.
