Anyone interested can buy it for $59.99 by using coupon 86741863. My coupon states that it's good until 06/10/14. (Lot 68053/69252/60569)
Thanks for the coupon code! I have the jack and some pucks on their way now so I can get under the new car

I have had the 1.5 ton aluminum one that I carry with me to the track for over 5 yrs. It has done fine there and at home. I ended getting the 3 ton one a couple of years ago. Much heavier and not really portable, but it is much less work for it raising car in garage. If you are not carrying the jack anywhere, I would recommend the 3 ton. I am using mine 2-4 times a month switching out rotors and brakes with no issues for either one.

Good lookin' out, meng! Just ordered one for myself! My aluminum Craftsman is on its way out. Starts lifting about halfway through a pull. I'll grab one of the larger 2ton steel jobs later on! Thanks again!

Does anyone using the HF 68053 floor jack know if this reaches the front and rear cross members okay?

Thanks in advance.

I have the HF 3 ton jack but only use it on the cross members. Have to ride up on two layers of 2x10 boards to get under the front.
