Need New Floor Jack - What do you use?

[Jivewalker]

Well my 20 year old craftsman floor jack bit the dust, time for a new one. Getting ready to do the no-spring-compressor new shocks install and want to buy a new jack that wont break the bank and has good height. Looked through some older threads but looking for current recommendations. What floor jack do you use that you like and purchased fairly recently? Are there any jacks to avoid? Thanks!

I like this one 3 Ton Professional Grade Aluminum And Steel Service Jack
It does need a 2x4 spacer after a lift if u use the frame.

I use a Lincoln. Looks like Lincoln was bought by Hein-Warner. They are lifetime jacks. I also have a Craftsman my son bought me. They are Chinese. Not as good.

I use this harbor freight jack Pittsburgh Heavy Duty Car Jack

And, this jack cross beam adapter to lift the entire one side of the vehicle to do tire rotations. Makes the job supper easy. Steel Floor Jack Cross Beam

I use this 3.5 ton jack from NAPA. This is the low profile version and is very well built.

I have 2 of the Aluminum floor jacks from harbor freight and that have served me well.

Very cool! Thanks for posting MAXISTYLES. :girl:

No, she is not relevant, just got my attention.

Bought one of these a little over a year ago - Harbor Freight. For whatever reason they changed the paint job from yellow to orange. Gets the vehicle up in the air pretty quick.

Just last year my 20+yr old craftsman let go. Replaced with harbor freight Daytona 3 ton. It lifts my lifted 150 off the ground with ease! It goes on sale a couple times a year. The yellow one

That thing is a work of art! times are tight, for now out of my price range unfortunately.

I have this one. Works well.

[MENTION=85141]Jivewalker[/MENTION] I've have a 3 Ton Pittsburgh low-pro rapid jack, which works great and is only $90, and now have a 4 Ton Daytona which is about double the price, but still only $180. The 4 ton gives me more confidence, extends over 2" taller, and has a thick rubber pad atop the jack plate which is nice.

For those who don't have one of these, a hockey puck works great, and you can pick up a bag of them cheap on amazon.

I wanted a Hein-Warner but for my occasional DIY use settled for a Omega Magic Lift

Works pretty good... no complaints yet.

Bought the same one last year, quite happy with it and the price was certainly right. Put a pair of 3 ton stands under the rear axle and tire rotations are a breeze.

My big ones are Craftsman probably from China. My little one is a Walmart special.

I made one of these last week out of the aluminum HF.....about $60 total! ($59.99 Jack and 1 cent for iron pipe scrap)

Years ago I too got a 3T from HF to use in a pinch. Much to my surprise it has lasted and performed well.
