Hey Bud,

Have no personal knowledge of this jack, but "fourteen inch lift" with "17.5 inch saddle height" is a little skosh and may be a little tight to work under your car after putting a jack stand under there. I like 19-20" or better. My $.02.

Sam your right its needs to go higher...I mostly want a light one for those across town deals a guys needs to drag one for, tired of dragging the shop behemoth I have for those jobs.

we talked about the sears units before...I kinda thought guys were saying they broke to easy... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Bud,
I've used a Brunnhoelzl alum. jack for more than ten years now and have never had a problem with it. I bought it when light weight jacks were not as prolific as they are today and I needed a light one. It's USA made, and from what I've seen is a much better quality than most of these later entries in the market (possibly from a foreign country). Unfortunately even in our "recession" they are as pricey today as ten years ago. Although sometimes you get what you pay for. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif D.

I have it. Got it as a gift last year. I love it. I was a little nervous at first, because of the light weight, but it's solid. I use if for my lawn tractors too...where the nose of it is much lower than my steel jack and can squeeze into tighter areas.

Yowza Dick..looks like thats the one to get...8 big ones looks like the best price https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif...http://www.vacmotorsports.com/catalo...acing-jack.htm

We got one of the Craftsman aluminum racing jacks several years ago...been awesome so far.

Re: -Jeg's Alum floor jack, feedback.
 

I'll be in the market for another one soon. I had a Harbor Freight jack for three or four years and quite honestly it worked fine. I carried it in my trailer until someone borrowed it. Now, I don't know if they REALLY liked it, or REALLY hated it, ..... but for whatever reason it never came back to me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif
I'm thinking the Craftsman unit might be my next one. (Do they come with provisions for a chain and padlock?)

If you're thinking about a Craftsman aluminum jack as well, you might want to check their feedback on the sears.com website. Several of their jacks have a less than two-star rating (on a five-star scale) due to premature failure - probably at the worst possible time. Good luck! BCD.
