Well as the title says, i'm in the market for a good aluminum jack as my steel floor jack just gave out on me. I was thinking about the craftsman 4000lb(2 ton) alum. jack, but upon reading some of the reviews on sears.com, I have decided to not go with it. Does anyone know of a better alternative?

My dad bought an aluminum jack from Costco. Price was good. Works great. Don't know if they still sell them.

 

Somebody had a thread about jacks and everyone liked the Costco jacks.

 

^^ I think that was me. I end up getting it .. and it's actually pretty good

 

swt, thx. I guess that'll be my choice then.

 

Yeah go with that one. It's really beefy, yet light enough to haul around.

 

what is the height of it? I'll have coilovers on the car in about a week and I want to make sure it will still fit.

 

My friend got one from Harbor Freight. I told him I wouldn't trust my life on Harbor Freight quality, but it's held for him for quite a while. Just make sure you have very good quality jackstands, as a jack is only meant to lift a vehicle, not hold it.

 

im not sure of the height but i know its low b/c it fits under my buddies lowered e30


on the other note of its the aluminum one with padding on the handle, super light and 100 bucks get it,

plus you can return anything from costco, i returned a 100 piece tool set i got 3 years ago there missing like 9 different things and still got full refund (ratchet broke) so if it ever breaks you wont get too hasseled in returning or exchanging the jack

 

Have had mine for more than 2 years now. Used a lot when switching wheels/tires for autocross.
It's held up pretty good. No problems at all.
