    Got this one last week while it was on sale for the same price as the Costco one. Sadly it's back to the outrageous normal price so you'll have to wait a few months likely before it's back on sale.

    Just checked my garage and this is indeed the same jack as the one currently available at Costco for ~$150, but the costco one is red.

    Costco Arcan jack is the shit and is not as cumbersome as some are making it out to be.

    Put it in a corner and forget about it, much like your least favorite child.

    No need to fuck around and wait for Canadian Tire Motomaster bullshit to go on sale.

    For some reason I thought my floor jack was really heavy, but it's not bad at all. Took it to my BIL's and helped him change out his tires.

    Mine's a Michelin I got at CT when it was like 93% off.

    Say what you will about CT crap. But it’s the real deal when on sale.

    I have the older, bigger and heavier Crappy Tire low pro jack and I much prefer it to the smaller low profile Crappy Tire jack. The small one with the single roller wheel always seems like it was ready to buckle out from under the car.

    CT at 75% off is usually good value. CT at 80-90% off is often excellent value.

    I swear most Jack's are all made in the same Chinese factories.
    Then painted differently.
    Snap on is pricey but seems to be the same guts as other floor Jack's.

    +1 I replaced my 15yo Motormaster one with it. No ragrets.

    I've been using a low profile Canbuilt jack (3.5 ton) for ~15yrs now ... it's heavy, but a total beast; probably can last 100yrs

    I've been using a Power-fister 3.5T low-pro jack for a lot of years and it refuses to die.

    I kinda want a cheapie 2 ton floor jack for light duty use like this one: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/b...-0090263p.html
    under 25 lbs sounds good to this old man, but then I'll need a heavier duty thing for other uses. So I end up with two floor jacks? That's probably not what I want in my life.
    Have a shitpile of CT money to spend, but maybe I'll just stick to my old jack, it's working, and It's not like I use it more than five or six times a year.

    I have been using the same cheap ass CT Big Red floor jack for as long as I can remember. It's missing parts and the handle is bent and the rear swivel wheels are rusted to the point they no longer spin so they are ground flat on one end and wouldn't spin even if I freed them up.
    Finally fell off my wallet and bought the Torin 3-ton jack from Costco. Couldn't pass it up at the price (I think that is what I paid-just cribbed the pic from RFD).

    That is a great deal. ^^^

    I have a CT one that has been going on 10 or 15 years now , before that I had a ct one that last 20 years …


    I use a bottle jack on the trailer to change tires, but I would not use it on the vehicles.

    Any jack should last 10 years minimum. I decided I don't need a new one this year.

    Anyone have the jacks for each tire to move a vehicle around? I'm looking for some and would like to know of some reasonably priced ones.

    I would just get those beds with the castor wheels on them.

    I bought these when they were on sale a couple years ago. Happy enough with them.
