For home DIY users, this will do great job for the price. I'm using it for 3-4 years and very happy with ti.

Also, look at how much the jacks weigh that you are considering. A lightweight jack certainly helps when you are swapping tires/wheels.

Yeah went to harbor freight site. They have a nice low profile jack that's less then 100 bucks really can't beat that. But def get jack Stands too.
I messed up one of those lightweight aluminum jack but just using the jack. The seals aren't the best but for the money there good |

A friend of mine's father passed away when he was doing an oil change under the car, the jack slipped and the car fell on him. RIP

I also use only for seasonal tire changes. I haven't swapped out the winter tires yet (85 today!!) but will soon. I tested the jack and it held steady for about three hours - good enough fo me. |

I think with tire changes you should be fine without jack stands since the car shouldn't be lifted for more then 5 minutes for each tire. Just make sure the car is stable so it doesn't slip off the jack when you are putting the tire on and taking it off.

Actually, smart-arse. He said "working on", not "working under". So technically that could mean anything from standing on the hood while changing a tire, or simply USING the jack.

This is a good jack! I recommend this jack to avoid install and removal on our low stance cars.

Floor jacks are not designed to hold the car up for extended periods of time. They are on wheels and can roll or slip.
