For those looking for floor jacks
Sears is having a big sale on them. I think they're 50% off.

Much better than harbor freights crap. The 2 ton jack is even cheaper.

All those new-style Sears Jacks are garbage.
This is the only Sears jack worth buying, other than their super heavy-duty shop lifts:
$199 Aluminum 2-ton racing jack
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...cal=TOOL&cs=e5
FYI: For only $124 (cheaper for me 'cause I returned my old banged-up costco jack) Costco has an all-aluminum Alltrade 2-ton Aluminum Racing jack, and it works great.
Best thing about Costco is that you can return it indefinately...
BTW both of the above jacks are better than the Harbor Freight stuff.

My cheapy jack broke
FYI, I have one of the cheap jacks like Sears or Kragen or PepBoys sell, and last week it BROKE! I was raising the jack up and the unit was not holding the hydraulic fluid well and it just slides down as soon as you pump it up. These things work great until they break, at which point they really BREAK and can't be repaired. There goes twenty bucks, but then again it lasted over four years so keep that in mind.
