Try it one day; just change the angle of the jack stands center column and it'll go often enough. The paw doesn't engage well enough to the claw part. Just give it a wiggle, don't beat on it. Also, there is a shear pin that will break if enough force is pulled on the handle, causing it to lock.
They usually do this...
