Looks like if would work nice for oil changes, brake work, tire rotations etc. Would be good for lowered cars (like mine) that are hard to get a floor jack under to a good lift point and then still be able to move the jack handle up and down. The one downside I see is access from the side of the car would be somewhat limited but you could always lower the car down on jackstands with the lift if you needed that access. I think the MaxJax would be a great option too if you have the room for it as it would be great for lifting a body on and off of a frame as well.
