Spend enough time in any workshop and you’ll hear plenty of opinions about bridge jacks. Some come from years of experience, while others have simply been passed from one mechanic to another without much thought.

The problem is that not everything you hear is accurate. A few common myths still influence the way people buy, use, and maintain bridge jacks, and those misunderstandings can lead to poor decisions.

If you’re thinking about buying a bridge jack – or already use one in your workshop – it’s worth separating fact from fiction.https://standesign.ca/bridge-jack-myths-every-mechanic-should-stop-believing/
