3. Best feature: on the lower setting, you can work on the engine without bending over.
4. Worst feature: hydraulic lines take up more floor space than warranted.
5. Yeah....the garage floor needs a cleanup.
I have the 7000 but agree on all points (about quick jack, not your floor ). I disconnect the lines once the car is up unless I am doing something that will require me to frequently go over and under the car. Or maybe I just work too slow for it to be an issue.

For me, the biggest gripe is getting both sides into position. It still beats a floor jack (well...jacks aince Inused to need 2, lol) and don't regret getting it vs a portable 2-post.

I like the neatness of your wrenches. lol
