Scissor lifts

[Noel]

Has anyone here ever used scissor lifts? The ones that aren’t bolted to the floor? I’ve always worked with two post lifts. I’m thinking of buying one from Harbor Freight, but I’m afraid of it falling over easily. Does anyone have any reviews? Thanks in advance.

A tire shop I worked at had one. Not bad, only worked on cars that could make it over it though. They’re really only designed to get the car high enough off the ground to easily work on it or under it. A couple of feet is the max you’ll likely get. One of my teachers in college several years ago said he had one that he liked. In the end I guess it’s just way more convenient than using jacks and jackstands.
