Now that's something we can all agree on! Yeh sometimes you can get a better deal on this or that but safety is the most important when it comes to something you're gnna work under.. I don't have a lift but I do use crib blocks as safety supports and will be taking advice passed on here and will be getting some cast off wheels to use for safety in the future. As long as what you get has the proper safety features, like locks or stops to hold position instead of relying on the cylinder pressure to hold it up that's what you need to look for. Seals can let go, hoses can burst or blow out. It needs a mechanical system to lock the lift in place.
