I have that jack, and I've been using it for a while. I've used it under my vehicle to do brake jobs and even to change front struts. I'm amused at comments that it engages "too fast," inasmuch as the speed is totally controllable by the valve. It just requires a deft touch. Using a Schrader valve makes no better sense to me. In use, I find that being able to alternately manipulate both valves right at the jack is useful for precision. That clear plastic tube should be trimmed to proper length to fit. In my case, I also had to buy the proper air hose adapter...mine came with European style adapters. I also thought at first that there should be rubber feet under the bottom, but in use I realized that would be a mistake. It needs to be able to slide on concrete to maneuver it properly under a car. Yes, the metal will scuff...but so, what? My only concern about the jack is that rubber always deteriorates over time. I don't expect the jack to have more than a 7-10 year lifespan.

Very interesting. Looks handy.
