other Jacked !

get the next level up.  the HF ones in the $120- $150 range (sale prices).

This.  I've had a $199 version for 15 years now.  It can even change a trailer tire with the car on the trailer

(I hate that I know this, the hard way)

 

Crapsman jacks aren't any better than HF any more, and cost more.  I collect them from

friends, and have made one good one of 3, now.  And that took some welding!

Option?

I was considering this 4000 lb cap jack from Home Depot.   $130.   I liked the idea of the large jacking area if needed (trannys, diffs etc) and the safety pin looked about as safe as it's gonna get.  I still use jack stands.  Anybody have experience with this model or one like it??

Never had any issues with these two heavy Sears jacks.  I've never even added oil to them.

This weekend HF has a 3-ton RapidPump steel floor jack on sale for $68.66

The Model # is different from the one pictured a ways back up this thread. This one is Model #68048. They say the reg. price is $159.99, but usually $89.99.

Not as long of a jack and I dont think it's as low of a profile. Looks a lot like my dads Craftsman jack I despise... :/
