Design Build Go - new Agile scissor jack review

Totally agree with Zimm, site prep is always pratical, safety is always a priority.
Lifting and jacking equipment is something I take seriously and work with nearly every day. I have had a few of my own near misses and seen enough jack, lifting and pressing related injuries over the years through work.
The crux is it doesn't matter if you like the overlanding fluff, expanding the offroading ego or pretending to be a mechanic in your driveway take the time to plan, assess what and where you are lifting, choose the right tool for the job, prepare the area and protect yourself and others because the ground doesn't move, people are soft, vehicles are hard and gravity, mass and force will always win when it goes wrong.
I'm not a vehicle lifting, hydro pressing cowboy by any means. At least not all the time.

So I would suggest you two are taking my comments to an extreme.

And if safety is key then I would also say a scissor jack should be very low on the vehicle jacking equipment list. Probably right next to a HiLift. But the versatility of a HiLift makes up in leaps and bounds over its general safety.
