    I have the jack, and I like it, especially since it has made my wife feel better about jacking up the car, if she is in a pinch :) And if the jack is too low, i use a specialty item called a block of wood :)
    If you are on gravel ground, which my whole driveway and carport is, i can't really use a trolley jack, since it requires a surface it can roll on, and my jack weighs about 65 lbs. I could, and do, put down plywood when i have to lift the car high, but for just swapping from summer to winter tires, that is too cumbersome.
    The electric jack is very light, so it is easy to lift from wheel to wheel, and way more fun,and more stabile, than a scissor jack. Also - if you are unsure where the jacking points are, you can operate the electric jack, while lying on your side, seeing if you are actually hitting the jacking point. That is harder to do with a scissor jack.
    So yeah - i actually found your review a little harsh, and a little bit elitist. But I can see for someone with a perfect workspace, it wouldn't make much sense. But for normies that just want to change their own tires, it fits the bill, and it pays for itself quite quickly if the electric jack is the difference between changing tires yourself, or having it done in a shop.
    My wife loves it.

    Honest question and I wish a poll was available for this... how many of us store our Dewalt batteries in the garage (apparently wrong according to some people) and do we all leave them in the "charger" 24/7? (Apparently also wrong) Keep up the good work!

      Wait… now I’m confused. What is the correct way to store them??

      @@ZeroToAwesome I think I may have asked this question before in a previous video but I could be wrong, but I'm also a yellow guy and my neighbor had this hot sports opinion that Dewalt should always be stored at room temp and never remain in the charger after a full charge. The only website I find that supports my theory is Dewalt Canada.

      It was a bit of trial and error to get it working but now it works great. We have a couple videos in the history with parts and how it was built.
