Default Floor Jack

I just picked up a 2 ton floor jack from Harbor Freight that was on sale for $94 bucks. It appears to be one of the most sturdy, well constructed floor jacks I have owned. It has under 3 inch clearance, with 19.5 max height. My duralast didn't last too long and this seems to be a good replacement.

Just thought I would share in case anyone is looking for a new floor jack.

Yes I too went with one of their floor jacks. Very happy with my choice, low profile, light weight, 4000 Lb capacity and works perfectly. FLOOR JACK

I don't have the model # in front of me, but it is orange with a white handle on their website - it on sale for $94. It was the only jack that would lift up to 19+ inches. The one posted above is awesome in person as well... $179. I have never been to harbor freight - what a great store...

I have the same jack (big orange with white handle). I actually got it for $64 (cashier even threw in a 2 year warranty for free...must have been in a good mood!). I've only used it a few times so far but I agree, it's a beast and hopefully it lasts forever...errr...a long time anyway!

Sounds like a very good deal. Kind of wish I needed another floor jack - already have three.

I have one of these also. After a year of use, it is a bit worn out. It still works, but takes a lot more strokes to pump it up, and it does leak down slowly.
