Title: Not safe
Product review: Purchased this jack as replacement to one that was stolen.The foot pedal is mostly useless. It direct connects to the pivot point for the lift arm (i.e. is not connected to a larger bore hydraulic pump) and takes serious foot power to lift the arm, keeping in mind if the jack is under a vehicle you can't reach the foot pedal anyway. I ended up removing it just so I could better slide the jack under my workbench when not in use.The most serious issue is releasing the jack to lower it. I've tried multiple times to lower my car slowly with just a gradual turn of the handle and it can't be done. Car is jacked up one second and on the ground the next. Perhaps not so bad if the job is done and you don't mind a rather hard landing, but it also means you can't gently lower something onto a set of jack stands. I will go so far as to say this jack is not safe.Note ... for some reason Amazon has this listed as a toy for my review, thus the unusual rating.
