I have had one of these for a few months now and they are really perfect for the mini. It slides under my lowered mini with no problems and after the handel is removed sits nicely in the passenger footwell on the way to the track.

I have a similar jack. Lightweight, low enough to get under the MINI, and the rubber pad in the cup does not strain the plastic jacking point blocks. I recommend it.

I did a test to see how many pumps it took for my "Racing Jack" and my "Craftsman" jack to reach full hight.

Racing Jack 6.5 pumps
Craftsman jack 42 pumps

I have one as well and I really like it. One word of caution though. One night at an autox (too hot in the day in Houston) the jack would not release with the car elevated. I had to borrow a jack to retrieve my stuck jack and finish changing tires. Once I got it home some WD40 squirted in the handle mount freed things up and I have not had any problems since. Now the WD40 has a permanent home in my autox box.

I bought this jack last winter....I paid 89.00 then.

It was back-ordered for 3 months. Well worth the wait. It has already paid for itself.
