It's for hobby use, probably every second weekend on the cars, and even then only when doing something that requires it.

Track day wheel changes is an obvious one, and most will cope with that. Its stuff like on sunday I swapped the engine in a corsa, and needed some help to apply the brakes to remove the crankshaft nut. Im not sure it would cope with that?
