Why is this called the widowmaker? Never had a problem using one. Im jacking the car up with hydraulic trolley, and use this guy to share the weight of the car as I couldnt find low profile axle stands, have to jack up way too much to fit normal ones.
Anyway.

because the base of the jack is tiny and its easy for the car to fall on it.
This, I cant believe people would be dumb enough to get under a car with this lifting it.
Because they can fail more easily than a trolley jack which is what you should be using.
It's not.
Now this! This is a widow maker.
Oh my sweet summer child
That's not a real thing, right?
Yep, My Volvo came with one.

Not using a jack stand after lifting the car. I used one before, just long enough to throw a jack stand under it.
