Seems fine, except that the handle doesn't clip in or whatever to the base of the jack, it just slips in and catches around a bolt when you twist like a socket. It wouldn't be a big deal, if the part of the jack where the jack handle goes in didn't pop straight up towards the sky whenever the handle isn't in it. In other words, there have been many a time where the handle popped out of the jack while jacking the car, and then the handle receiving part goes tits up, which doesn't really work too well when it's under a car and under load, because I can't pull it back down to put the handle back in, so basically when that happens I have to get another jack to lift the car and get my jack out from under the car and reinsert the handle.So, moral of the story, avoid jacks that have removable handles.</blockquote>
