good deal, but it only lifts the car 13" and my 18" lift barely gets the job done.

That looks like a sweet setup for DIY items on cars. Does it all fit in the slot in the right side of the trunk?

If it is really as cheap as an oil change I don't know if I would trust it to hold 3500 pounds above my head.

I paid $29.88. A day earlier it was $39.99.

Inital impression after I used it to do a tires ratation on my sienna.

First, it is of solid build quality.

Pro: nice trolley. Nice stands.
Con: I cannot recommend the jack for a 4000lbs sienna. The lift was barely enough. It can go as low as 5" so no problem if you are lowered. Second, when depressurizing the jack, the Sienna went down very fast and left a dented mark where the stands was. The stock sienna jacked worked better. Maybe for lighter cars, this would not a problem.

Also, the wheels Chocks are a joke (too small) but they did work!

Only 3 out of 22 (13%) guessed it right

Nashua.

How do you jack up the car (say, at the the jackpoint behind the front wheel) and then swap in the jack stands? The stand legs flare out so much you can't get it in there onto the jackpoint.

You really can’t use the jack stands on a low car like ours if you have a PUSSY jack like that one.
You need a BIG SUCKER like I have then you can lift the entire front end off the ground from the front center.
Then place the jack stands in the factory lift points and lower the jack.

I voted with the majority.

I purchased an emergency kit from DAP. It consisted of a 2 ton jack, emergency flashlight with strobe, electric inflator pump (takes 15 mins to add 5 psi to a tyre), and a 72 piece rachet set. All for $35. Not bad but u get what u pay for, and its not really worth the $35 that I paid for.
