I bought this device to help me with the Winter/Spring tire change over. I am 80 years young and I still change my Winter and 4 season tires myself…and yes I still prefer real Winter tires for our real Winter season. So I love this new tool that I use in conjunction with a floor jack. It can lift those heavy tires to the right height and rotate them until they line-up the with the wheel studs, with a lot less effort than a younger man might be able to provide. I have the hydraulic lift version…easier to lower the wheel if you raise it too high. A word of caution…this device is best used on a level, hard surface. It can be used without a floor jack so long as you have a sturdy jack stand or a set of wooden blocks suitable for holding your vehicle elevated while you remove and reinstall the wheel. It will lift 1500 lbs…it lifted my Toyota Sienna, a vehicle that weighs slightly more than 4000 lbs. It’s a heavy tool by itself but it does live up to its description. I’m glad to have it in my garage. It makes the tire change over a lot less effort. Buy it!!

I have to be honest, at this stage I haven't opened them, I'm waiting for my son to come, but by the weight of the individual boxes, I'm pretty sue that they are excellent quality, the boxes are very heavy. :-)
