Does it 'feel' tough enough for extended use? <more>
If you think it's a decent wheel on/off tool for when I need to rotate and clean wheels, I'll head over to get one today too.

Bob, try and return the jack . . .
it is not a very good one and won't last very long. The piston in that jack always blows a seal, usually with the car in the air! 
If you plan on lowering the car, this jack also will never get under the car without you having to raise the car onto boards first.
Spend the extra $70 for the 2-3 ton jack with stands. Your life is worth another $70, isn't it?

for rotating and torque of spacers it is fine, may have to drive car on to 2x4 pieces to get >
rail just rear of the front suspension. Other wise fine for putting the car on stands. The valve requires you to pull off the handle and use it to adjust but for $70 cheaper it is just fine (and lighter too YEA HUM!)
