What do you think of this lift?

I will soon take over all oil changes for my parents and I change my own oil now. What do you think about this lift?

Do you not have room for a 2 post lift?

Garage is too small for any permanent lift and I am very suspicious of the floor.

I have that unit. I have no complaints about it. I mainly use it to do work on my BRZ but Ive lifted a 2014 Sierra with it with no issues. Its a well built unit. There is a video out there showing Ranger loading it with several times more than its rated limit without any sort of failure. I purchased the 12V unit so that its portable if need be. Id recommend it to anyone needing a lift without actually being able to put a "lift" in.

Thanks but it would be right in the way for where I want to be (between the sides of my cars).

Oh well that's neat! So yours runs off a car battery? How quickly does it lift on that?

Found a cool video on it.

Re: What do you think of this lift?

I have a mid rise scissor lift in my shop and it works great! My 70 GMC 3500 157" wb truck has been on it for a year now.
