Cheap, sturdy, and light floor jack?

[e34john]

Sears just had a sale; jack and a pair of stands for less than 40. I know too late now but they have them often. Don't know how low you are but the sears one I have is just a little too tall, I have a small square of 3/4 plywood that I drive over to get it under. I also have one at Costco that works too. About to buy the aluminum one from NAPA, weighs like 20 pounds.

id do this one, theres one 5 bucks cheaper but this one will go the lowest. these are REALLY heavy, so i suggest if its going to leave your garage (track days, or anything portable) go for the aluminum ones

The Sears offering is on for $38.99 right now, is it really reliable because that is insanely cheap.

Its good enough. I have two sears ones. One about 10 years and one about 5. No problems at all. Not the best but they are cheap and they work. Works on my cars and lifts the F150 no problem.

I don't like how they don't have jack pads and when lowering the car its almost all or nothing. So keep clear when lowering.

I have this set http://www.sears.com/craftsman-3-ton...4&blockType=G4

Which i think includes this jack http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...&%20Jacksmv=rr

Had it for about 4 years now. I love the wider stance for stability and bigger front wheels on it, makes it easier to roll on various surfaces. Not to heavy for the size. Not a single problem yet.

I have a torin from northern tool. Not particularly cheap, but a good jack for the dollar.

Which jack is it that is $70?

[PeteD]

I have a 3-Ton Speedy Lift. Seems to be doing the trick. I traded a weed wacker for it, but I think it is probably a HF type of quality.

3 ton Pittsburgh branded. I went and ended up with another jack that the have on sale due to its low profile nature, 2.5 versus 5 minimum height. It's only a 2.5 ton jack but for $75, can't be beaten.
