Default Racing Jack

What does everyone think?

These are aluminum, 3.5" minimum height (really low), and light (about 30 lbs). I'm not selling them, I'm just trying to help the company gauge some consumer interest.

Figure they should hit retail at $399.

I have seen a similar product being offered here at import drag races for $275. Not sure of the company name offering these though. If these are anything like the products I saw then they will have a great rproduct if the price can go a little lower.

the jacks used in winston cup racing are three pump aluminums and go for ~1500 bucks. these are quite nice at 400 bucks. comparable models are ~700+. I dont know of any "cheap" aluminum floor jacks to be honest.

Looks pretty neat but for $400, I think I'll stick with my $50 jack.

It's more a show piece for the true enthusiast.

You are quite right though, works as good as a $50 jack.

But yes, this would be a new price point for this item.

This jack will only work from the side jack points. To use the jack handle, you pretty much have to park the car in the middle of a two car garage.

Will they lift the car in one or two pumps? The pit crews can usually get the car up in just one pump.

I'd like one with a silver with red interior (to match my car).

Nice jacks. Do they come with a chain and lock at that price? j/k

Who actually manufactures these? They look very similar to others I have seen.

I am in the market for a nice AL jack. Is the $399 US or CAN $?

I am interested at that price as these are usually seen for $500+.

I'm confused about the comment on these only working on the side points?
