As advertised. It did what it was supposed to and did it well. I used it to change the oil on my Volt and I was able to use the electric wrench to loosen the nuts, used the jack to lift the car. Put stand up and lowered the car and moved jack out of the way. Changed the oil, filter then lifted the car again, took out the stand, tightened the lug nuts and lowered it. Easy peasy.
It definitely raised the car up high enough to put the stand in, which was always a pain with my other, 4-wheeled jack. It was also much faster to raise and lower.
