Default Need a low profile jack from Crappy Tire

All,

I need to get a low profile jack, moreso now that Albert has had his way with my car's suspension.

I'm off to Crappy Tire this evening. What works for you guys?

Thanks,

Rob

James' is $300, Balzz's is $100. Hmmm, no wonder James can afford an M5 . . .

3 fixes:

1 - I drilled the hole slightly larger so the button would move more freely with the spring back in place...
2 - I used a sanding stone in my drill press to get the handle back to round...
3 - I FIRED MY PIT CREW!
