Yeah, I passed on it too. I bought two jacks and couldn't see spending $20 for a $60 jack. Unless you pay full price the warranty isn't even worth considering.

I've had the jack above for about 10 years, great item.

I bought this about 6 months ago, simply the BEST I've had....EVER, but it's HEAVY (103lbs), not portable. That being said the reach is amaizing, especially on lowered cars.

I also have this, which a great "quick & portable" jack!!

The ATD-7325 (same one as the Omega 29023, just under a different badge) is very well regarded here. Amazon was selling it for $248.83, but now it goes for $299.95. You can see it here.

It's been discussed in depth here.

What really separate this one from the pack, besides its extremely low profile, is its length. It allows you to reach the front and rear crossmembers from the front and rear end of the car respectively, in order to raise the whole axle. It can also accommodate a cross beam adapter like the one Summit offers, allowing you to touch only the preferred jacking points.

I have had the HF 1/5 ton aluminum racing jack for almost 4 years for track days as it is light to carry. I have their 2.5 ton steel jack I keep in the garage when prepping for track days. It is no sweat for that jack to lift car or Tundra at any point. It is handy having 2 jacks. I have like $160 in both.
