Harbor Freight 6000 Lb. Capacity Scissor Lift Review, Central Hydraulics, is it worth it?

Phobias are good, its like self preservation.
That being said,and as mentioned about proper placement of lift points they are about as safe as a two post lift.
I would make good use of one if i had it. Tires,brakes,front end work and bodywork on lower panels. Handy.
