    I agree with Tiger... in regard to the fluid leakage worries.

    Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(

    Saw this idea on TV in the 60's so its been around for a long time. Some old boy used it to tip a Rolls Royce on its side. If you want to get underneath that badly you probably wouldnt mind draining the oil but I hope HIS engine and tranny mounts are sound:-)

    It works for my lawnmower....

    Do you think you do clutch work with it? It doesn't seem to be that would be so. For the price of the thing, I rather spend a few bucks more and get a two or four post lift. Of course, it takes more space and isn't portable...

    It's probably great when it comes time to polish your roof.

    Dont want to be an anorak, but you can get a single phase scissor lift that is portable. Well.. you cant actually carry it but you can drag it about on wheels. Nussbaum in Germany used to make one
