Default I looked at those

but ended up getting a plain ol' steel one from WalMart. It weighs 34lbs, and goes to 22 inches. it has a quick up feature, where in one pump it goes to chassis height. It's 4000lb cap, and so far it's worked great.

Default Looks interesting ..... but the question would be ... could it fit the Eastwood adapter pad??? .....

Or does it have the same configuration as the 3000 lb jack that you have?

Default not sure what an eastwood adapter pad is, but the HF jack is rubber padded...

makes contact with a long part of the lifting lip and doesn't do damage like a regular jack without the pads. Safe for differentials too to lift the rear of the car. Plus, it is so light, and with the long handle, you can drift the jack sideways when under a car for perfect positioning on deep lifting points. Other jacks, you have to pull out, and steer back in.

Yeah, I've used a 2 x 4 block with a slot cut in it, but it eventually splits.
