Hi,

I have used one of these for years. It is very accurate for the price. I have scales and this and I end up using this because of ease of use and time of setup.

You would put it under the wheel lip and lift the car. I use a section of tire that I cut out to not damage the wheel when lifting. The handle is about 3 feet long. About the same amount of pressure is used as to jack a jack.

Yes, you lift the corner of the car with the fulcrum point. You can only get the wheel about an inch off the ground at the most.

It is, remember for relative measurements, not absolute, but the overall reading of the car is within 5% of the scale reading. and I have not had to re-adjust my cross measurements when re-checking with the scales.

I had one, then sold it when I went scales, then bought another because I found that I was not checking the corner weights as often as I should because of the time involved in setting them up.

I am not selling mine, just offering my experience. No affiliation to the seller.

Thanks

Ed
