Jeremiah;

I use the handles on mine for tweaking the position of the jack, as needed.
I also use blocks/planks of wood, as needed, on the jack lifting pad, to
lift
the car from an alternative location giving more room, where needed, in
anticipation of where the jack stands will need to be located....

Cheers,

Dave
