Single action.

Remember, these are lightweight jacks. You are lifting up to 3000 lbs with a cheap 24lb jack and they will wear and fail at some point.

If you just want something for the garage, get a serious heavy steel floor jack for more or an ultra cheapo for <$30. If you want to change 4 wheels in 12 seconds, this ain't it. If you want a 1/2 decent jack you can throw in the car, take to the track and not care if someone steals it or it dies, then it is a good choice.

My older slightly larger slightly different HF 3000lb jack has lasted 10 years and hundreds of lifts with only a little seal weep and 1 oil refill. I think DK has gone through 2 in less time, so YMMV...

Pep Boys also has a $70 24v impact wrench after rebate. Know nothing about it though.
