I have the harbor freight or northern tool version of the same jack. It took about 3 months for it to arrive, so if Sears sells it, that's very handy.
It is a good strong and portable jack. It doesn't lift as high as a big traditional steel jack, but it's super light, well built, and very useful. With my big jack, I used to put a piece of scrap wood between the car and the jack to prevent contact pressure damage to the undercoat paint. With this jack, the flatter cup and it's rubber pad make this unncessesary.
It lifts just barely high enough to let the suspension on a 9-5 unload completely and get the tires off the ground for changing. Plenty of room to spare on my 88 900T. It's a lot lower to the ground than most steel jacks, so it can get underneath spoilers and skirts better, very handy for lowered cars. Before this jack, I used to have to drive up onto 2x10 scraps stacked up before I could get the big jack under my 88 900T. I'd probably hurt by back moving the big jack out of my garage, so I find it handy to have both.
