No, but why does that matter you still need jackstands to get underthe front unless youre an idiot and willing to trust your life to a $.05 o-ring. Jack up one side place jackstand then jack up the center ....takes all of about 2 minutes. Unless you are willing to spend $400 plus on a jack I do not think you will find one that will reach the front center jack point.

And just how do you put a jack stand underneath the same jack point where the jack is?

So which one is it? Will the craftsman reach the front jacking point or not???
I think the only jack that is long/slim enough to hit the front center point (without jacking another point of the car first) is the DK13HLQ. http://www.asedeals.com/hydraulicjacks2.html
Can anyone with the Costco jack hit the front center lift point? The jack has a nice low stance for the first 12" but I'm thinking the front center point is more than 12" under the car.
