The biggest question I have hear is lateral stability. That does not appear to be a very large side foot print so lateral side loads from working on shop projects seem to be out thus making this a wheel change only?

I like the concept and would be interested in hearing your opinion...

Exactly what I was thinking. It looks like any Dilbert could lean on it a bit too hard and kaboom. IMO the $70 HF jack with a prepped piece of milled wood to do one side of the car at a time and 4 jack stands would take a couple to five minutes max. More stable, takes less room and one sixth or so of the price. Use the extra jingle to buy an 18volt Impact. Not much of a wow factor though.

I sure as hell wouldn't be crawling under a car on that thing.....

If you have tight space, and want a lift which isn't "permanent," look at the Danmar Max Jax.
