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!

You guys that have bought one, how high is it when fully let down ? not going to be suitable for lowered cars I guess

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.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.
