I need a floor jack and would like to purchase a reasonably priced one to keep in my garage for S2000 maintenance. I see many advertised: Sears, Fleet-Farm, Northern Tool, etc. Does anyone have a recommendation of one in particular regarding use on the S2000.

Thanks for your help.

On recommendation from HECASH...who I talked to at length this spring...I bought this:

Aluminum (Red) Jack from Sears...a little more heavy duty, and still pretty light compared to my 3.5 ton floor jack.

Also, go buy a hockey puck and cut a strip down the middle...it makes a great lifting pad.

A nice feature for wuick work it hits the chasis in one pump and in about 7 pumps it puts the car 18in in the air also it has a big contact pad wiht a rubber mat on it which is included. you should get it

Does anyone have this Harbor Freight aluminum jack? If so, does it fit under a stock height S2K on the sides jack points and/or the front/rear jack points? I have a large Craftsman now that doesn't fit under, thus it needs replacing. That Craftsman one mentioned above looks nice too.

i have other harbor freight tools although the price is good, on such an important tool as your jack which will get alot of use most likely then you dont want to cut corners. Just my 2 cents

I have that Harbor Freight jack. I havent used it on the S much but its a good jack. It gets super low, 3 or 4 inches? Real light too. Seems like good quality.

The Harbor Freight jacks are pretty much the weapon of choice out at the track. At home you get a little tired of the low mechanical advantage (it lifts the car in just a few pumps, but you really have to lean on it).

On my stock ride height '02 S2000 the Harbor Freight jack easily works on all four corner locations. It also fits under the diff. But it doesn't fit under the front central jack point unless one of the sides is already jacked up a bit.
