Only prob is that it doesn't look very low profile-ish and it's actuator arm thing is kinda short-ish.

Can't someone make a lightweight super low profile jack with a long arm THING for us? ARRRRRRRGGHHHHH!!!!!
seriously! hahah

after watching the video it looks like the slot is the wrong way to straddle the pinch welds, it looks like it needs a special jack stand to work
