Lowe's has a 3 ton floor jack and stands combo for $92. I looked at it today; it's not aluminum, but heavy steel and appears to be of good quality. Anyone had experience with this jack, or could recommend a better one?
I don't recall that the 3 ton jack came alone...they had a smaller, flimsy 2 or 2 1/2 ton stand that came solo, but it didn't look nearly as stout as the 3 ton...I need stands anyway, so seemed like a decent deal for a good stand and jacks.
Have you looked at Sears? I got a 3 ton jack and 3 ton jack stands from there last year. The jack was on sale for $60 and the jack stands were $15-$20. I don't know anything about the one they have at Lowe's but I'm sure it will work just fine too.
