Bought this as due to health issues I'm struggling a bit. Used it for first time whilst on holiday. It's easy to get into place, unscrew pad until it reaches jacking point and then simply press the switch. It lifted my Mitsubishi Shogun Lwb with ease and held it. Good features are the flashing warning lights and torch built in but it's also a air compressor. I found it easy to use and stable. Only thing lacking for me was a remote control, wired or otherwise as struggle to get to floor and up again. Son helped me with that. If had remote it would be 5*. Having said that though, for the money I'm happy with it, says it will lift a weight and it does, with ease. Just unwind head until touches jacking point and lift. It's that simple
