So the teeter-totter aspect didn't surprise anyone but me?   I was surprised they showed a video of the guy climbing underneath that without any other supports.

He did put another support under the front end.....

But I admit I've seen the teeter totter lifts before.....and I feel safer underneath my no-name Chinesium lift.
Complete failure at retirement - but getting better!

Yeah, I saw the support under the front. But, he was climbing under the back end of the car with no support.

I guess I just don't quite understand what the purpose of it is. The first time I was under it wrenching away and it started rocking around a bit I would probably need to go in and change my shorts because my first thought would be it was coming down on me.
