new type of jack?

[stayalert]

anyone seen or tried the new (to me anyway) floor jack with sort of a built in jack stand that stays in place when you move the jack back? Saw it in a SEARS flier that came to the house yesterday.....Prolly a year or so behind the times but if thats the case ......meh...

I hardly ever put a jack stand in the same location I lift from--but maybe that because I don't have a jack that leaves a stand behind. But I usually jack from a central location (under the differential) and put the stands at each end.

here's a picture of the thing I was talking about

That's kinda cool. Good idea if it works well/easily.

Cant tell from the pic how big the base of the stand is... Might be okay for low riders and cars.

Nothing that I'm personally interested in...I was just wondering if others had seen or tried it...
