Im looking to buy a jack, and was just wondering if anyone has any input on were to get a good deal and what to avoid in the Bay Area.

 

A good one will be hard to find, most all anyone carries anymore are the cheap chinese crap buckets...

 

I got a craftsman jack, 2 stands, and a creeper for I think $100 when Sears had it on sale

 

Aluminum, you dont want one that weighs 70lbs.

Harbor Freight has a few "race" ones that look decent, research for us and let us know

 

real men can roll a 70 lbs jack across the garage kyle!

 

haha ok i'll call you when i need to load a greasy one into a tall truck

it sucks when you have to navigate a heavy jack through the garage, around bikes motorcycles tablesaws. if you have a light one, you can store it on a shelf or something. Not to mention 1/2 the time youre using the jack you are ready to fall asleep at 1 AM and the last thing you want to do is lift something

I like drifting my jack on the floor, but isnt fun when you bash into stuff and ruin it hhaha

 

I found this one. 25 LBS

HAHA thats funny!

 

comes with a 5 gallon coffee mug

 

and a massive hammer

 

i'm actually using that harbor freight one. It's served me quite well for the 3 years that i've had it and worth the money you pay for it. The profile height is also a good thing to note, as it fits underneath my lowered car just fine. (i'm about 1 1/2 finger gap in front/ 2 in the rear so i'm pretty low...)


At 100 bucks or so, it's really hard to beat. The jack itself is light as well since it's aluminum. I really have no complaints about it.

 

100 bucks for a jack from habor freight? Jesus thats pricy. Most of their stuff is garbage, but some seems to be niche products.
