New Floor Jack
I couldn't take it any longer and bought this floor jack tonight. I have a 20 year old Sears 1 1/2 ton floor jack. But this new aluminum 2 ton jack is so much better and lighter. Plus it fits under my Vette. I even got 10% off.

Floor jack
Sam's wholesale club sells a similar jack with all the same specs for half that price of the Sears product. I looked for a long time at various jacks and Mfg and did like that Sears product, but I liked the price, specs the same and this product has the same warranty as the sears. If you don't have a membership go to wal-mart and they will give you a day pass to the Club to purchase items.

Do you have the Mfg's name by any chance? Thanks -

I'm amazed and how light and easy jacking up a car is with this new jack. The longer big handle provides you with better leverage. Much better than the heavy short handled jack I had been using.

It looks alot like this one:
Only its a 1.5 Ton Torin brand. Pep Boys: $69.95. Fits under vette.
The only draw back is its a little short to stick under the front cross member in that I can't start pumping the arm unless I drive up on 2x4's first. But it fits nicely in back and under the jacking pucks.
Hope you didn't toss your old one. I've found instances where I've used them both.
