I've used my SVX jack several times without incident... WITH chocks and jack stands. Judging from its looks, it had never been out of the car before.

I agree with David, but if used properly it wouldn't be a problem to use them occasionally and not for a long time (car being jacked up on these jacks). Again its always better to use jack stands and make sure to choke the wheels properly and loosen the lug nuts a little bit before u actually jack up the car, so that you dont need to put lots of pressure on the nuts while the car is jacked up. Finally remember these jacks are provided to change wheels in emergencies and not for any hard mechanical stuff.
