Very easy to operate with precise control. Lighter to move around than a trolly jack with a similar lifting capacity. It has a nice big lifting pad so hitting lifting points on vehicles is easy. I wouldn't go under a vehicle raised only by this, axle stands must be used as well. However I never noticed any creep down under load. Only down sides are when its down its not really low and when its up its not really high. I lift both sports cars and Heavy SUV's.
