Floor Jack Questions
Hello all,
I am looking to get a new floor jack to get some work done on my garage! I will be working on a 2001 Corvette I have and an SUV.
I am looking at a "Best floor jacks" list but not sure how good they are. What do y'all think?

Hoping to find one that can work for both cars.

Most of the jacks avaiable are made by the same manufacturer and re-branded.
This is what I use and it fits under a lowered Viper without wood.

If I didn't have to carry my jack, I would get this:

I have the 2 ton low profile harbor freight jack linked above, it works great.

Far from expert, I use the three ton low profile harbor freight jack, because of the low height, and the long throw. Many jacks don't raise the car all that much, and I wanted to get it up there, not being real flat in my personal profile.
I think jack manufacturing is pretty well understood throughout the industry. My buying decision trigger was lifted height, and of course, price. It is heavy .
