Default Which floor jack

I am looking for a new floor jack. I would like one that could slide under my '91 without having to drive the car partially up a set of ramps.

The antique jack I have now was used in my fathers garage 50 years ago, has been rebuilt numerous times and although has sentemental value to me, has long out lived its usefullness.

Could someone please direct me to a supplier that can provide a low height, low cost, hobbyist jack?

Thanks,
Doug

Get one that has the rubber padding on the lift point. I use the car's jack to lift the car enough to get the floor jack under the car.
