vehicle floor jack

drexplode · 03-31-2018, 01:48 PM

I'm looking to replace my 10yr old craftsman floor jack.

Need to get low for the m3 and tall for the X3.

Ideal situation would be not from china but i'm not sure there are too many options. I'm willing to pay more for good ol' USA.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thanks a lot! Decided to pull the trigger on an aluminum version, ALJ3T.

2-1/2 ton Racing jacks from Harbor Freight. They look great and pump up very quickly. They have aluminum frames and sit very low. I've been using them for years and love them. Be careful thought the 2 ton variety became the 2-1/2 ton and the 2 ton got cheaper with only one handle and smaller overall.

I can't find this on amazon, but it seems like the 2 ton is so much more expensive? Whats up with that?

Nope, it’s literally built like a tank.

Mine has worked flawless for the last 5 years.
