It weighs 33-lbs. Sounds like it could be a good one to store in the trunk since it only weighs 33-lbs. Anyone have any experience with this all aluminum, floor jack? Is it good enough to get stored in the back of my 220,000-mile Scion xB with no issue for incompatibility?

From pictures, this jack has only two wheels at its rear, and none at the front. This arrangement would be OK for raising a lowered car, like a "race car". (As advertised).
It wouldn't take long to find that a car at a
normal height would be dangerous to lift with this jack.
A suitable, 4-wheel, lightweight steel jack can be bought for less than $25—but you still have to
take care when using it.
