Got one last week, major improvement in lift height over my 2 ton jack...  great price.

Got pretty heavy carrying it on the 1/4 mile walk home!

True, but it weighs about 20kg, and I was holding it out in front of me. It was my evenings cross training!

I think the lift range is 15 to 52 cm. I have to lift my car a little to get it under the sub frame. but it is well below the sill jacking points.
