It's a cool idea, just a bit over priced for what it is. I would consider it for around $500 but almost 2 grand?

Hell just a decent hand pump floor jack will run you $200-300

Heck, if you really want ease, quickness, and a safer way of getting your car in the air, invest in a set of 40 dollar car ramps. Drive your front two tires up on the ramps and then put the rears on some jack stands. That's plenty quick, very safe, and simple.

Yes... then they leave all their used oil, coolant, shop rags, old parts, and their mess with you for you to clean up later...

You can move it with you if you moveand your friends can come to your place.
But I can agree with the other ones.
I can't talk though, I'll still be usng floor jacks and jack stands.

Post lifts are great but .......
take up a lot of space
are a pain to install
cant take it over to my friends house to work on his car
cant take it with me when/if I move
ect.
ect.
Portability and low storage impact are important to me.

Why not pay a few hundred more and get a two post car lift?
75"+ lift height

What about some pics under it? Can pull the trans without anything in the way?
Does it feel safe?

It didnt topple over but felt like it could if you tried hard enough. same same there.
The whole thing feel more substantial than jack stands to me.
Yes. you can take one of the cross bars out and easily take a trans
or driveshaft out.
Nothing is covered up that you need to get to.
I could easily roll on a creeper between the two legs as pictured with TONS of
room to spare.
I still want to fab up some simple 14+" wheel stands to sit it back onto also
for ultimate in safe and work clearance.
