Is this the best, most easy to use floor jack on the market? No. Was it ridiculously expensive? Also no. This is a heavily constructed beast -- once it's on the floor, you won't want to be picking up often. It rolls okay, Lifts smoothly if with somewhat more effort than more expensive units. Handle is sturdy although it does not lock into engagement with the jack, so you can't really use it to pull the jack anywhere. Nice lifting range meant it worked equally well on a lowered sports car and a tallish SUV. Has a flat rubber lifting pad which I like since I use a pinch weld puck whenever lifting a unibody vehicle. Overall decent value for the money. I got mine on Black Friday sale with free delivery, making it an even better bargain.
