Anyone have experience with this lift? I am leaning this way due to limited space. The total vertical lift is only about 38", but should be sufficient for most jobs.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

They overuse the word "Incredible" a bit...

It allows access to the center of the car but once UNDER there you're kinda limited in maneuvering room to work. For suspension stuff it'd be great, oil changes and fluid service of trans & diffy would be easier too. Seems like a fair compromise with space limitation in the mix.

I've worked with one, think it was a Snap-on, okay for brake work or minor engine stuff(so you don't half to bend as far).Rather have a 2-post,also not easy to see to find proper lift points,without damaging exhaust,etc. cheers Geno2
