Wheel jacks...

It's pretty heavy, mind you, but it's a small price to pay for such a good value on jacks.

There are two caveats with it, though. I'm still not sure what I'm gonna do when I go to install coilovers on my car, and the jack won't be able to reach the front center jack point. I can jack up the sides no problem, but to place a jack stand under them, without the special jackpoint jackstands that cost an arm and a leg, is an issue. I might end up getting 4 ramps or something to place under the tires after I lift up each side of the car. And for brake jobs, just lift up one wheel at a time. (This issue applies to all jacks.)

The second issue I have is that the lifting arm is wider than most jacks, due to the extreme low profile. As such, it contacts the pipes for my HKS exhaust since the pipes come in like a V-shape when seen from the rear of the car. My solution is to just use a piece of 2x4 wood to give it enough clearance.

None of these issues devalue the liking I have for this jack, however. It does it's job brilliantly, and for such a crazy good value when on sale.
