I have been looking at those, I'll be curious what you think about it.

I was working off one Saturday. being 6' 3", it's a huge back saver while you're leaning over into the trunk or under the hood. It goes about as high as you can get a car on jackstands, so I don't know if it's worth it. Plus, they block side access where jackstands allow more entry underneath.

They are great for suspension and brake work.

I bought the 7000 XL and the truck adapters and they do work good. What I really like is that they don't interfere with any suspension or exhaust or driveline and when not needed fold up against the wall. Lots of power to lift my Ram Quad cab

They're ok for tire change and brake work, but even an oil change is a PITA on these. We have a scissor lift like this in full height (6ft.) in the company shop. Ok for quick works, but exhaust, transmission, clutch etc. is also PITA. We have two post lifts for that.
I'll get a two post lift in my personal shop soon. Looked at four post ones, but again, more pain than gain for me.

I wonder why the 12v and the 120v versions are around a $500 difference....

Ohm's Law...... Less voltage requires more amperage for the same load. It's a good sized hydraulic pump on that thing.

Pontiacgp should understand that more than anyone with the compressor fiasco
