Floor Jacks
Does anyone have a floor jack that does not require 25 pumps to get their vette off the floor? I got a KwikLift (another story) and I have to pump my current floor jack way too many times to bring up the back of the lift. Looking for suggestions and prices paid.. Thanks!

Buy a used professional. I bought one from a garage that was going
out of business. It was a couple of years old but never used. I think
I paid $100.00 for it, but is it ever nice. Also bought some AC Delco
metal cabinets for $35. Good luck.

I bought 2, 21/2 ton floor jacks from my local Harbor Freight Store. I think I only paid about $50 a piece, that's why I got 2. There builf very heavy duty (weigh about 90 lbs each) and will jack up the car quickly.

I bought a 2 1/2 ton and never had any luck with it so I bought a 3 ton. It was alot heavier, and lifted alot higher. It was a door crasher special and around $100 CDN.

Koz,
Yep that's it....only I caught them on sale at the local store. + that's a 3 ton, so its a little bigger. I'm pleased with what I have. But it probably is close to what Sears offers. Sounds like you need a lift, not a jack... :jester
