What jack would you buy

[1 Slow Z]

I am in the market for a new floor jack and was curious of what you guys would recommend? I am not looking to spend a fortune, but I plan on using this a lot in the next couple of years so I'm not trying to cheap out either. Thanks in advance for any inputs.

I have 2 of the 2 ton versions. So far so good.

+100.

I've had mine since probably 2006 and used it for not only about 35+ autox's, jacking the car up twice an event to swap street tires/R-comps, but a couple of times a month in the garage for several years. This little beast is still going strong.

Initially, I had reservations about buying a jack that was built in China/Taiwan, but it seems like every damn thing made out of metal is from that region now. I recommend it highly, it's been that damn good.

I got this set for Christmas. The 3ton works great on my heavy truck.

Thats the same one Randy has. It a good solid jack the only two things I dont care for is its really heavy (not an issue if you dont take it anywhere) and it takes a lot of pumps to get it to height. One things for sure though it will lift damn near anything you put under it.

This is true. I use one of the A/C delco aluminum jacks. It's held my car up for months just fine.


Mike I saw you called. Today was my day for class/work. I will give you a ring around lunch tomorrow. No you can't touch my jack.

I need one as well. Problem is the car is pretty low so I need a low profile one. Tired of driving on 2x4's to get it high enough to get the jack under.

theyre heavy if you have to pick them up but are great jacks, you could probably get it a little cheaper from my matco guy if you paid cash

Don't buy craftsman aluminum jack, on 3rd one but out of warranty now.
