Someone on FB posted one of their videos to my timeline. Looks like an interesting product if you don't have space for a lift. Don't know about US availability or price, and not sure how well it would work with lowered cars either. Kind of a different concept I hadn't seen before though, thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

and if you came in here looking for a 1" lift for your Astra, my apologies.

I don't see any apparent safety mechanism in that video of it?

Wow, that looks horrifying. Some moron is going to start welding on an exhaust while under that thing and pop a bag. Whooosh! Splat....

Oh, yeah, I'd never use it without setting the car back down on jackstands. That possibility never even crossed my mind!

What if the air hose pops? I've has that happen more than once. I dunno, seems scary for anything other than lofting to set on stands. That being said, if I didn't have a lift, I'd be interested.

Nice touch with the magnet to hold the pins. Those extensions look a little flexible however.
