Default Cheapo aluminum jack?

Have any of you looked at the aluminum floor jacks on ebay? The measurements are a little smaller than Craftsman, but are like $80-$120.

... I refuse to use stuff that puts life and limb in the way... thats why they call it a floor jack! Once its assembled you leave it on the floor! :jester

I got one from Costco for Christmas, I think it was around $130. I like it. Goes lower then my old jack and is nice looking too (that's important with a floor jack). But, has with my old made in China floor jack...........I use made in the U.S.A. jack stands.

I had a cheap one and wasn't happy with it, got the Craftsman 3 1/2 ton Professional with Professional Jacks stands on sale for around $110.00

With one pump it goes to the frame :thumbs:
