In this price range, this scissor jack deserves 5 stars. I have an antique mahogany bed that weighs somewhere between 600-800 pounds. Heavy enough it took 4 men to get it in. I needed to add risers and could barely budge the leg from the floor, and certainly couldn’t lift it 4” while correctly placing the risers. This worked well because it is low profile and I was able to slip it under the bottom rail easily. There was no problem cranking the handle with one hand. Also, unlike many of this type, it has a smooth flat saddle rather than the wobbly round saddle that usually have rough teeth. There was no damage at all to the bottom rail while jacking up the bed. The base is also better than most in this category. Wide and flared so I never thought at any time that it could tip, even on a carpeted surface. Overall no complaints. If I had a suggestion it would be in reference to the handle. There is no articulation so it is unforgiving when it comes to angle of approach. I had to straighten out the handle completely and there would be no way to really use it as a crank until the jack was extended most of the way.

Its size is nearly perfect for lifting low-slung as well as regular-height objects. Mine is used for specific furniture applications where conventional furniture jacks are either too flimsy or too expensive or simply too inaccessible to use. The nice thing is that it IS capable of mechanical work with my lawn and garden tools, as one of my lawn mowers weighs over 700# and I don't own a hydraulic floor jack. As such, wheel changes can be a... problem. That said, I'm not the greatest fan of the bent-end crank handle, though it meets the need... crudely.

Nice jack. Works well for me. I like the larger base.

It’s not a floor jack. No supposed to be. But it has been so handy/portable for small trailers, lawn tractor, golf cart, etc, vs lugging a heavy floor jack.

Helps vehicles as well as leveling my bed.

Alas, my relatively new cars don't come with a spare tire or a jack. So, I didn't have one to use when I needed it for lifting my bed. I'd been advised to lift the head of my bed and use risers under the head's legs. But a bed frame and bed are heavy. No way you can do this on your own. So, I looked for a simple and inexpensive jack that would do this for me. This is the one I found on Amazon and it is a great value. It's solidly built. Simple to use. Should last a lifetime. It's amazing how easily this lifts. You can almost just turn the mechanism by hand and see the bed rise as if by magic. The handle that comes with it takes over and makes it a breeze. So, job done. And now I have a jack for the car, should I need to change a tire, or two. You can't go wrong with this jack. It's money well spent!

For the price, these jacks work great! I actually used them to balance a giant Dobsonian telescope, and they worked flawlessly!!!

Works great, very low profile. This easily fit under my BMW F30 3-series and was quite solid for removing one wheel. I wouldn't use this if I was going to do all my own wheel changes because all scissor-type jacks take a while to raise the car, but for an occasional or emergency jack, this one works very well. Can't beat it for the low price!

Funciona correctamente, ya levante el carro unas 4 veces y esta estable y aguantador

I’m using this as a lift jack for my motorcycle on top of my motorcycle lift table. I’ve welded on square base plate and a top plate to straddle my frame of the bike. It goes up and down and allows for removal of a front or rear wheel and is perfect for setting chain tension with the rear swing arm dangling and the rear wheel elevated.

Recomendado. Mil veces mejor que el de agencia.

A un compañero de trabajo se le ponchó la llanta, utilizamos el gato tipo tijera y nos sirvió a la perfección, fue una buena compra para emergencias, es un poco más grande que los que normalmente vienen de agencia en los autos pero es más estable.
