It looks pretty cool. My low profile jack work fine, though. I guess if my car was slammed, any more than on stock bolts, I'd want one of those.
I love Harbor Freight, but you do have to worry about some poor quality merchadise.

I bought a pnuematic nailer from Harbor Freight and it never performed as needed. I wouldn't buy anything with moving parts from them. Especially nothing hydraulic that I could loose a limb screwing with.
Just my opinion.

MANY $$$$$$ of body damage would occur too,if one of the lifting
arms broke or slipped off the tire.
Just use the designated C5 lifting points with a low profile floor jack.

Jack.....
....90% of the time I lift my car is to get the wheel off. Even if the quality was good, I don't know how many times it would come in handy.

No complaints about my Craftsmen 3 ton. Regardless of the brand of jack, I would use jackstands or ramps for safety.
