i'm looking to purchase a good floor jack..
any suggestion ?
i was one at costco.. alumin lift max is 21inch.. for $99
sears have some ranging from $60-120
and of course the pepboy / autozone special.. which i'm don't really want..

i just want something reliable / one time purchase..

 

harbor freight foo!
aluminum racing jack which is the same one they sell at pep boys

 

harbor freight alumin jack isn't much cheaper.
so there is no point for me to drive down there to pick one up..

 

I can't remember where I got mine from but my jack stands are pretty flat on top, there isn't that downward step in the middle( I hate those, somejuan leaned on a car I was working on and the damn jack tipped and I was under the car).


also there is no release lever, its all lock pin layout ( those release levers can drop the car on you if you kick it on accident).

 

i bought a set of new jackstands which are flatter than the stupid harbor freight juans..
now i just need a floor jack..

 

the costco one looks good. they are the low profile ones and should squeeze in under lowered cars. good price

 

harbor frieght is as much as the sears

you want the one that lifts it up the highest and goes the lowest

 

yeah i'm looking for ones that have max lift of 20+ inch..
because i remember buying those pepboy special and one that kevin had that lift only 15-17 inch.. we couldn't even get it high enough to put jack stand on the pinch point..

do it german style and drive it onto a curb, drain your oil in the gutter

 

i thought u mean the link u posted.. anyways

yeah i probabily go pick up the alumin jack from costco for $99

 

Fixed! with that said. I look at it this way, your spending money on a product that is going to keep a 3 thousand pound car off your azz. Do you really want to go the cheap route and buy the "No Frills" brand? I wouldn't... I think for a jack, 120-200 is not too much to ask for. A few cracked ribs, crushed spine, or a 1 time fee for funeral expenses at Rose Hills will set you back a pretty penny..... Just my $.02

 

agree..
that's why u should always use jack stand in conjunction with floor jack..
and something behind the tire to keep car from rolling..
