I have the Harbor Freight one. Its lighter and cheaper. I don't however trust it by itself. I always use a jack stand with it.

Does that one clear the front? The one thing people said was better with the Craftsman is that it requires less force.

Question, are you referring to the front center jack point or the front side jack point behind the front tires?

I have the harbor freight one. It works fine, Low enough to even fit under MeccaJM's car. and his car is really really low. If it doesn't fit under the front-side jack point, try jacking from the rear seide jack point and lower it slowly back on ground. The suspension won't compress as much and will give you just enough room to lift.
