HF has a low profile jack on sale this weekend for $99 no coupon needed.
Bought similar several years ago from HF. Mine goes to 23 inches but weights 95 lbs
Problem I had (have) it’s so heavy it won’t move in as it lifts even on my garage floor. My saddle has very low lip so was of no help pulling the Jack with a Jack pad into the center. I welded a 1/2 inch lip on the saddle! That does pull the jack into the car. Need to be sure the Jack is perpendicular AND the rear casters are positioned to move in.
There are aluminum versions (maybe not HF) that work as well, but are MUCH easier to use... at least for a wimp like me. I picked up a couple years ago for racing use and they still work fine: and, probably all from the same Chinese company(s).

Good price although it is a relatively heavy floor jack. I have a couple of the Pittsburgh Automotive aluminum racing jacks sold by Harbor Freight (blue colored jacks) that work really well. Much lighter and therefore easier to move around, but not as inexpensive as the one shown in the original post.

Yep, I have 4 jacks from HF accumulated over the years. By oldest, a high lift is not low profile I bought 22 years ago when building my street rod. Bought the latest, which is similar to the Pittsburgh one here but is very heavy, 95 lbs. Use it only occasionally. Much easier to use the low lift, aluminum race jack when changing a tire etc. BUT is has to more into the car 2.6 inches at it's max lift. The long reach low profile new jack "for the same lift as MAX for the short light race jack" only needs to more in 1.2 inches to keep the jack saddle directly under the jack pad. NOTE AT IT'S MAX LIFT IT HAS TO MOVE IN MUCH MORE. That is the reason I welded on an extra 1/2 inch to the jack saddle, so it "pulls" the jack into the car with my 1 inch aluminum Katech jack pad.
