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 !
