With no load, the saddle rises very quickly, and then once it starts lifting the car, the level of effort required is very reasonable. The handle breaks down into two pieces and removes for easy transport, so you can throw it in the back of the car or truck to go to autocross or track events, or to rescue a friend with a flat tire.It has an attractive finish and looks good in the garage.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.
