Does the handle need to be up to release the jack? In other words do you have to keep the outside of the jack handle clear from the car to lower it?

To lower the jack you twist the handle and it can be in any position. I highly recommend this jack, you will not be disappointed. I thought about an aluminum jack because it's lighter but they are a ton more expensive so this is the best bang for the buck. I used a 20% off coupon and got mine from Northern Tool online and shipped it to the store and picked it up, I got it for $80 shipped that way. Good luck!

No you can release it at any angle. It does not have to be 90 degrees. This is especially helpful for lowering the car at a very slow pace.

The handle does not need to be up to release the jack. The handle can be in any position to lower the car (turn handle counter clockwise to lower).

No sir. The handle can be flat to the ground and sometimes it's easier to get it to release when it's parallel I the ground. The jack works great we're at a 10 bay service garage and my guys tried to throw away a perfectly good jack (just old) to get another one of these!

No the handle does not need to be up to release the jack. I really like this jack and it works very smooth and efficiently with minimal effort.

The jack is exactly 4" high, so it should work, as long as you can get the slot on the top of the jack lift pad to line up with any lip on the car's undercarrige.

yes, but this kit does not come with handle and cable to lower this spare kit..it is sold separately by this seller.

Definitely no, this is a sedan/coupe type jack. The CRV's ground clearance is too high.

Yes it does. It has everything you need to jack up a modest sized car. It suffers loss of mechanical advantage when it is completely flat but for a car with a flat tire this is not a problem because the higher the jack the less the change in height per motion of the jack screw and the greater the mechanical advantage. While this cannot be easy to see, the derivative of jack position with respect to height, using the Pythagorean theorem is positive which proves the virtue of this design of a car jack.

I have my handle off when not in use, you can secure it with a simple bolt but it is not required to be tightened - only if you want to drag it around with the handle.

Ssouldn't be a problem.I put htis jack on a 26 foot enclosed car trailer that i haul a race car,golf cart,tool box full of tools,generator,gas cans and other items and it lifts the trailer loaded like this with no problem.The only complaint i have with the jack is it didn't come with a manual jack handle and all the other places i saw the jack it said it came with a handle.Coy C

I don't see why not.... You can always put jack stands under once you've got the car up. However, make sure you taken them down before driving off!

While it is not recommended, the jack will lift one side. Your car as a whole is 2 tons. One corner will be significantly less. I use my jack for my tundra, but I only lift just enough to place jack stands underneath. NEVER get under a vehicle with only a jack holding it up. Support the weight with jacks rated for the weight of your vehicle.

It's bolted on with 3 bolts just the same as your existing jack. It could be removed but I don't know if I'd be too concerned with that.

the screw that runs from the motor to the jack itself might be binding, causing the motor to overload, hook it up to your tow vehicle, run the jack up and down to see if there is any binding, I have not had any problems with mine and it works good.

No. You will have to lift it a few inches with a stock jack first, then the big jack will fit in the space. A stock is the one that comes with a new car.

I make sure the back piece that swivels is pulled all the way out. However I am not using it in a car. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, I use it for my dodge charger which is kinda low and I'm able to get underneath my car with the jack fully lifted.

I don't see that as an issue at all! It releases by a pull cord and you must pull it at the proper angle and distance for release, some technique required. It is a very good design.

Absolutely! Do it all the time. There is a hole at the bottom where the jack is.

No, leave the truck hitched, raise trailer and truck with jack until plate can be removed from ball shaft. The only time I have trouble is when I unhook and hookup at a diffent angle then just crank it up higher for more chain slack. Super fast no tools required and it works as advertised.
