Just remember - Safety is key. So if its too cheap in price, theres a reason. And you don't want something to fail while you're under there. Ive seen it happen.

I'd probably still find a way to use jack stands on wood blocks if I was to get one of these. I always make sure there are a couple of "back up" plans when I have a vehicle in the air.

Very good idea. Always check then double check lift points before you lift. Even if you've lifted the same vehicle many times.

Snap on makes one that works off a compressor. I saw one on Craigslist a while back when I was looking at getting something like that for around $1000. My friend has one at his shop and it works great. Doesn't take up space, easily moves around and you can drive right over it.
Yea but new is 4K

I am also looking for one, found this one looks alright
