I've thought numerous times about getting one of these...  The idea of a 
low profile jack that could lift a lowered race car to high jackstand 
height in one go without needing to deal with spacer blocks is pretty 
cool.

I've always been concerned with the fairly low weight rating.  What's your 
experience been using this jack in terms of how much weight it'll reliably 
lift?  Any bending or binding with the long arm & links?

Thanks!

Mark
