    It's annoying alright, not particularly stable at all. What the spring does force you to do however is place the jack correctly or it will immediately fall over.

    Just as a reminder too, don't ever work under the car using a jack alone (and especially not this jack). If you have to use force to remove a flat tyre, place the spare under the car so that if it does fall off the jack, it will hit the wheel and not the ground.
