This jack is a fantastic tool to use on our cars, I have one that has served very very well, will do one end lift with no problem. Mine is is general use on my car and S&S club cars. Jacking pads are vital if using the OE jack, even if you only have one, keep it in the tray where the jack lives, then you can jack safely is my advice. No pad, no jacking. Use an alternative method otherwise serious damage to you and your car is likely to result.
I like that, especially the double piston arrangement. The only issue I'd have is the twist handle to lower, it's ok when using it on the front and rear because I always lower onto stands if doing that, but I will use the trolley jack on the sill jacking points if just working on one corner, Whilst not being underneath, I still don't like the idea of a knock accidentaly lowering the jack - damage could result - is there some sort of safety feature to prevent that? I assume the handle can be removed without the jack in use (i.e. raised)?
