Default What floor jacks are you using?

My made in China floor jack just took a cr$p. Looking for a quality low profile floor jack. If you have links please post them.

Lincoln 2.5 ton Jack. Bought it at Pep boys. Made in America, I think it was like 100 bucks. Good quality.

I also have a DK20; works great. Fits front and rear with stock height. If your car is lowered you may have to drive up on some 2x4s or some such thing.

I have an AC DK20 and just love it. My car is lowered as far as it would go without changing any parts and I have no problem getting the jack under the car -- even with the "jacking pucks" that I use to make sure I do not damage my body. The "jacking pucks" also make it easy to quickly locate the right place to put the jack.

I bought a 3.5 ton jack from Sears with 2 3.5 ton horses for about $100 dollars. It is a great, fat, stable jack and has the speed lift system.
