I use the Hellfrauds one and it is pain, I have to use two planks of wood to drive on to. If I was buying again I would buy a different one as this one came bottom of the test and I agree with the conclusions.

I just drive up on some bits of 4x2, then whizz the Hellfrauds 2 ton special under. Saves swapping jacks and everything.
I tend to use the front and back jacking points. The only hassle I find is that they are so far under the car that I can hardly get any movement on the handle until it's a couple of inches up.

I've considered a Sealey low entry trolley jack in the past, particularly now my car is lowered.

Ian I use the the same one and can easily get the jack stands to fit under. You are doing something wrong.
