Ok everyone, it's POLL time... Aluminum Racing Jack (which one?)
I've been in the market for a new one and have had some bad expereinces with a big red torin 2 ton jack (fell apart) and have looked at the stuff on harbor frieght and the likes.
I like the Aluminum Racing Jacks that are bout 35-50 lbs and have a low clearance and seem to be about 120 bucks.
so that said, and a trip to www.froogle.com in tow... which one's do you guys like? post links and pics if ya got em.
TIA.

i have a problem with my aluminum jack. those aluminum 'lifting ends' wore out quickly
so it now slides out each time you pump the jack instead of the jack rolling to a new spot

Re: I got mine from Harbor Freight for US$70
The small HF jack is cool and cheap and is probably OK if you baby it but it will not stand up to hard use, like for a race car. Parts are not cheap and have to be ordered from who knows where.

I have the same one as Audiboy...
I feel safe with it..and that is the most important thing to me. I have an older non-aluminum Sears one..gray in color..that weighs 15 tons...that is a pain to move around ...and noisier than crap (casters).
