  • Need a little help please

    I am looking to buy a decent floor jack for the racecar and I dont want to spend anymore then I have too. There are quite a few to choose from so I am hoping to get a few recommendations.
    How much?
    Where to buy?
    Which ones to stay away from?

    Here are some that I have looked at, Torrin, Craftsman, Speedway motors and quite a few more. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

        Hey Ed...

        I have to agree with the rest here.. The expensive ones are great, but Harbor freight has a good one and if you want a smaller one and a larger one, get the small version for the track and the larger Aluminum version for the Shop... Or have a matching pair of the smaller ones..... They are compact, light, and work seemingly forever... Have been using one weekly for a couple of years and other than adding oil it is still going strong, several days a week...

        One other thing, they do offer a version of their jack with lights on the head so you are not struggling to find where you are jacking up in the dark...

        If you want a couple, buzz me, Harbor Freight is right around the corner in Daytona... But that would mean you would have to come and race that Sportsman of your here to pick them up...

        ROFLMAO...

        Have a great night... I hope the new enlarged family is doing great...

          I will hit Harbor freight up first chance I get. Is there a certain one that is better, the $90 one or the one thats $170?

            Ed, our Harbor Freight $80 jack has outlasted our Craftsman $180 aluminum jack. The $80 jack should do the trick.
