BiL, the mechanic, scored a 22" lift heavy duty HF jack ages ago. He loves the
thing, but warns the new stuff is not as good. That being said, go for the
biggest, highest lift, and you should have no trouble unless you need to use it

Curt,
This is the jack I have two of.

These are very good, but don't cost $50
Interesting. I have a Larin jack like that as well (actually, I have two). They
were bought at BJ's 17 years ago and neither one leaks.

Curt,

http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/larin-3-ton-floor-jack/36087
These are very good, but don't cost $500. Well worth the $100 plus
freight. The paint is different on this one. Both of mine are
orange. Oh, and I was wrong at 60 lb. This website
Who doesn't know this? Duh.

Just a word of caution:
NEVER place any body part you want to keep between a car supported only by
a jack and the floor [ground, asphalt et al] .
Use the jack for lifting, use a properly rated jack stand for supporting
the car BEFORE you venture under it. Please make sure the jack stand is
proper

Great advice!! 25 years ago we bought a Lincoln NAPA floor jack.
Probably stupid for the amount of use it has gotten buy it sez USA on

Anybody ever bought a Harbor Freight jack?
I've got an older Craftsman floor jack, one thats literally a bottle
jack on its side with a lever. It works fine but it really doesn't
go high enough and the removable handle is a drag. I've been
thinking I wanted a "real" floor jack for some time now
I bought a set consisting of a high-lift SUV jack and matching (heavy duty)
jack stands from Sears on sale years ago. I've been very happy with them. I
think I paid around $100 for the set, but that was shortly after I bought
the SDL.

It is nevertheless a very heavy tool. I still love m

I have a three ton HF steel jack that started leaking about a year after I
bought it.
I also
can't even lift a whole end,
theres nowhere to put the jack...
Guess I'll wait for the Aluminum one to go on sale.

I also have a HF 2 ton aluminum racing jack which works perfectly and is easy

I have two of them, the 1.5 ton "racing" jack, which has the nice long
handle and decent height; and a removable-handle portable jack. I use the
racing jack all the time for lifting the cars at home. I use the portable
jack when anticipating a requirement while away from home, typically

I have had no problems with HF jacks.
