Any of you guys recently purchase a jack? Im looking to buy my first jack but im not sure on what to get.

I was looking into the craftsman ones but a lot of them have horrible reviews.

Im looking to get a 3+ ton low profile one. Here is one i found that has some good reviews. Anyone own one?

They have the heavy duty steel 2 1/2 ton low profile jack at harbor freight for $84 it would be a a jack that could last a life time if you take care of it, and you could use it for just about any kind of job...

Thanks for the info guys!! Im going to have to think hard about which one to get they all seem like good deals so im indecisive.


I looked online for the Costco one but had no luck finding it. Is it only in store that they sell them?

I have a crafstman aluminum jack no problems over 5 years now . Remember jacks are just jacking up cars .dont leave them jacked up on car .use jackstands so you dont wear out your seals .and then leak thats number one reason they dont last .and number 1 safety !

Harbor Freight has some good ones.

Thank you what idiot? Does your newbie ass even own a jack or stands???? [worship] probably not . Go pay for someone to jack your car up son, change that muffler bearing

As for stands of course son I would never get under a car with out stands but I'm looking at the big picture and quality is number 1, same goes for saftey, I don't need my 16 yr old son killing himself because of a piece of crap tool made cheap. Kids these days are stupid and make mistakes , that doesnt exclude my son

I agree I have a bigger craftsman jack for my vehicles with more clearence , and I love it great quality, in the case of the summit jack it was low profile and my son needed it for his car which is a bit low

as for the floor jack (ANY floor jack), if it fails the car is going to come down and you need to always be aware and out of the way for that instead of blaming the jack for getting hurt. that's why you don't ever attempt to lift a car on your own without experience.
