Wow, this thing makes lifting a vehicle super easy. It is a luxury item for sure but it does save time and energy. I have only used it in a few different sized Subaru_ so not exactly heavy or particularly difficult vehicles in general to lift. Used my small compressor (1.5 gallon tank and 90 psi max) and it easily lifted the vehicle so a big compressor is not necessary to use this. My only complaint is it doesn_ go higher, but it_ easy to add a some firm wood under it to lift higher when necessary. Much easier to move around the shop and get into position compared to a traditional hydraulic jack. Not that pumping a jack is difficult but this requires zero effort to get the car off the ground. This is a great luxury item especially for anyone who does serious home wrenching.
