I was on a local forum, and say a FYI thread about a cheap Al floor jack. Anyways, I said what the hell. I have a really nice craftsman normal style 3 or 3.5 ton jack. Its really nice, one pump to max height when not under load (meaning you can put on the lift point with just one pump) Its great for taller veichles or the rear of my car, but to get under the front of my car, its pretty hard, and I normally have to drive my car on a 2x4.
So I went and bought it, normal price was 119, so it was 50% off.The brand is called "shop force". Comes with a one year warentee. I was able to carry it to the front of the store without a cart no problem (my old one, said 99.x lbs on the orginal box (but that includes the 2 jack stands it came with) So that said, its really light. When I took it out of the package, it looked real nice. Operation is alright. Not as nice as my craftsman, take sevaral pumps to raise it to the highest point. I have yet to lift a car with it (I bought it like 20 minutes ago), however, I will be swapping 2 engines tommrow, so I will be using it a shit load. I would really like the craftsman one, but last time I saw (this was when it first came out though) it was 200. 60 is a big diffrence.
Anyways, if you have a Meijers by you, check it out.
