Dan,

I hope this doesn't mean you jack it up and then work under it ;-)

Because I don't even know if my jack bleeds down or not, as I support the car immediately on jack stands once I have it at working height.

I once was sitting Indian cross-legged style working in the front wheel well of a ca-ca-camaro (NOT mine) when the jack let loose. Rotor slammed down inches from my ankle, fender slammed my shoulders and folded me in half and literally pushed all the air out of my lungs. Not a lot of fun.

NEVER RELY ON JUST THE JACK WHILE UNDER THE CAR!

We don't want to lose anyone ;-)
