Default Which jack was that?

Okay, shoot me. I didn't buy it then and now I've forgotten.

Somebody posted about a floor jack that will fit under a Corvette without using 2x10's. I think it might've been from Harbor Tools. Can anyone bail me out here? I needs to gets me a jack!

LOT'S of places carry them. It's the design that counts: "low-profile" and /or "racing jack". Most jacks will have their specifications listed: minimum height, maximum lift height, etc.

DO NOT buy the harbor frieght low profile jack for 79 or 89 dollars ... there have been product failures and product liability issues with this jack... the one for 129/139 dollars is a good jack..
Pepboys sells this same jack for about the same money...

Too late for me!! So can you give us some specifics? I certainly won't continue to use it if it is dangerous to do so. I did notice some loose fasteners, but that was easily rectified.. More info please..
