Just make sure you use a jack stand ALL the time before getting under the car.................I broke 4 of those jacks(in a matter of months)a while back.

Mine didn't have the LEDs...............the last one litterally BROKE the 1/2'' aluminum in half and dropped the Bentley GT(with wheel off) I was working on onto the ground. Granted that car weighs a lot more than the Crossfire..........but I was also only jacking up one corner.




PS I have since switched to Craftsman jacks and have both their 2 ton and 3 ton aluminum racing jacks with no issues ever.

I also have had issues with those Chinese jacks. Mine has leaked since day one and I will not use it without jackstands.
