Thumbs up Good Low Profile Jack?

Unfortunately the coupon has expired for the racing jack that was on sale for $59.99, and I came across this one and was wondering how it compares to the racing jack. In store price is $79.99

What is your budget? If you can afford to spend a little more I recommend the jack I have.

AFF 200T.

or the Omega 29023. You won't need to drive up on 2x4's to get this jack under your car.

the jack the OP posted is a very good jack.. its the top of the line jack you can find at napa for about 350 bucks.. the only difference is that the napa jack is painted blue and yellow and has a napa sticker on it.. kinda wierd but about 2 weeks ago that same jack was on display in blue and yellow..haha

the jack is super low and super quiet.. even when u roll the thing around its really smooth. its a normal jack so its kinda heavy but i would definetly recomend it. i have 2 light weight $150 racking jacks from harbor freight. every once in a while i need to tighten some screws or something but thats about it.

i will be picking up the same jack in the near future.

u know whats funny??? i think this jack is the same as the orange harbor freight one.. haha the front wheels wouldnt happen to be hard plastic would they??


a lot of companies buy jacks from 1 company and paint/label them their own and resell.. thats where a lot of harbor freight jacks and tools come from.

I've used the harbor freight one but after 6 months, it got bent and trashed. I would recommend the 2nd posters jack
