Anyone have one of these 4000lbs aluminum floor jacks? I'd really appreciate your thoughts on them to help me decide if I need one.
I've been looking at various aluminum floor jacks over the last year. My requirements are that it can lift my 80, which is over 5000 lbs and still low enough to fit under my other car (less than 3.5" clearance). I would also like to keep the price around $150 if possible.
Harbor Freight, Northern Tools, and Sears all had 3K aluminum floor jacks under $99. I've never given them much thoughts since lifting one end of my 80 would probably max out the capacity of these 3k jacks, which does not leave much of a safety margin. I was at Costco the other weekend and noticed that they have a new 4000lbs aluminum jack, with dual cylinders for faster lift. It weights less than 50 lbs by my estimates, and has a low price tag of $99. I can't find the jack on their website but Northern Tool has one that is almost identical to it
