Low profile jacks?

[403ep3]

Where can I purchase a good low profile jack for a decent price?

I've looked but a lot of what I found was from the states and shipping = :eek:

Does home depot carry anything? Crappy tire has nothing

[adidas]

princess auto, napa, part source


they will be expensive!

[phrozen]

Princess Auto. Maybe even try an Auto Value?

You got raped.

400 for a fvcken floor jack .... it better suck you off while you're jacking it at that price.

Seriously, princess auto one is lightweight, 2tonnes, 4'', $120, and surprisingly isn't junk (mine has lasted over 5yrs now)


It's like buying an engine hoist - I can buy the one at Costco for $140, or I can buy the one at auto value for $400. Same thing, just re-branded.

princess auto should have the cheapest one. get the aluminum one, it should be under 200 for what you want.

1) They're all pretty much made in the same slave shop in China, just rebranded.

2) Unless its lifting capacity is 500lbs, there's no way it's 2''. The lowest 2tonne I've ever seen is 3.5''.

Interesting, first one I've seen that goes below 3''.

But 2 3/4'' <> 2'' :p

And it's still out of the same chinese slave shop :D

[asfjasljj]

doesnt matter where its from im still happy with the jack :thumbsup:

[gretz]

I got mine from Walmart...A Torin - fukin great - it was less than $40, its a 2.5 ton with 3.5" min height. The shape of the lifitng arm is key for clearing sideskirts etc...still works great, had it for 3 years

I can get anyone the jacks we use on a daily basis in our shop. They are definitely not lightweight aluminum as they are for industry use so they are extremely durable, but they are the lowest jacks we have ever used. We don't use a hoist at all in our shop and use nothing but these jacks and we do seriously lowered cars every day, and over the last 2 years there has only been a couple cars we have had to roll onto boards first. From floor the the plate surface is roughly 2.25"...

I can get these for $229.00 each if anyone is interested.

Wow, 2 1/4'' is pretty farking low! I didn't think that existed.

Any idea what maximum lift height is?

[ZeroGravity]

I bought one from Costco for around 70 dollars.

If I remember correctly, it is branded as Torin. And it is very heavy. Don't remember the specs, but the starting range is less than 3".

Almost 20 inches... They say it is officially 2.75" all the way down, but when I put a ruler on it is is closer to 2.25" to the plate base... :dunno:

Like I said, I have been using these exact jacks im my shop on a daily basis on upwards of 10 to 15 cars a day and the fit under almost everything we have tried... They are heavy duty bastards though so don't expect to one hand them in and out of the trunk without a bit of a workout! These are professional grade tools...
