Unfortunately it breaks easily, so it's a dangerous product!Reviewed by Dr. Cool, 2010-02-19
This jack served me well for one year, and while it remained
together in one piece it looked like a nice product.
Yesterday however I had to use it to lift my Nissan Altima out of a
pile of snow, and the articulated frame gear broke at the base, so
the entire frame turned to one side. The car came down without
anything holding it. Fortunately we were all keeping enough
distance from the car, so this was only a minor incident.
I later took the jack to my garage bench and, for sake of
curiosity, tried to put the frame back where it should be, using a
rubber hammer. I was just trying to understand what went wrong with
the gear. One of the jack support legs broke after the first
strike, flying as a shard. So once more I was exposed to a
hazardous situation! Imagine the legs breaking and flying away
while the jack is holding the weight of a car!!!
In conclusion, this jack was built with cheap and unreliable steel.
Don't buy it unless you want to put your life at risk. Next jack
will come from a more reputable brand.

I used this jack to lift up the SnowSport HD snow blade (about 120 lbs) installed on my 2000 GMC Jimmy front mount. Very easy to install with 3 u-shape bolts and chain. It works fine but takes about 2 minutes to go all the way up. Its OK if you lift only to drive for gas.
Great productReviewed by Craig A. Roger, 2008-11-01
I bought three of these to use for various purposes. They work
great so far. I also bought the "Travel Mate 6.0 Amp AC/DC
Converter" made by Black and Decker on Amazon to use these jacks
with 120V electrical outlets. Works fine. I tried several other
converters that weren't powerful enough, but the 6.0 AMP Black and
Decker seems to do the job. Good buys.
Good for out-of-reach jack pointsReviewed by sureshot-!, 2008-09-19
Nice design including limit switches.
For light duty work.
The manual override is very slow.
Keep your manual jack as a backup.
