Absolutely Jim. I would never get under any vehicle supported by any kind of lifting device alone. I've worked in transport for thirty odd years and have seen some scary stuff

And they hurt like hell when the handle comes down on your noggin,

I love my hilift , take it everywhere , they can be dangerous if you don't take care , but a lot of things are .
