I've used mine several times, it barely gets high enough for the lowest settings on jack stands, plus is not meant for repeated use. The eye of the jack and the hook of the arms begin to wear out and eventually get to the point to where you're having to torque too hard to make it work and they just rub off. Best bet is to spend $50 and get a low profile jack. It will save you time and headache later.
