Yep

Just don't jack up the whole car at once.
You'll be fine just lifting from one corner.

What's the basic difference in this jack and one with identical specs for $49 from walmart?

Just bought that jack

Kinda wishing I'd looked into the aluminum jacks from Harbor Frieght. They may not be any better. I don't know cause I just went and bought this one without shopping around. Don't get me wrong though, it's a decent jack. It's just that it's HEAVY AS HELL cause it's made out of all steel and it takes more than a couple of pumps to lift the car unlike some of the others.
