Compact and easy-to-use to raise a vehicle either manually or with an electric drill of 90Nm or more (do not use an impact wrench as this will damage the mechanism). During raising it can be stopped at any height before locking the vehicle out level. Once raised it can be tilted forwards or backwards to allow much greater access to underside of car (always use suitably rated axle stands before getting under a vehicle). Adjustable width settings allows narrow chassis cars to be lifted, such as MGs and other small classic cars. Even with modern wider cars, this style of lift allows easy access to sills and edges of vehicle that some lifts would obscure.
