I'm with you, Scott. I interpret your original question as "which jacks ar=
e good enough for the money", rather than "which jacks are best and will be=
a family heirloom?"
I, too, have a couple of really nice Craftsman floor jacks which are all I =
use around the shop. The bigger one weighs 95 pounds and is just too unwie=
ldy to horse around for a race weekend (and the smaller one is too small to=
be my only jack at the track). I recently bought a Harbor Freight (Horrib=
le Fright?) jack which might not be as reliable, but is more useful. And =
I have (and use) jack stands just in case it decides to become unreliable w=
hile I am underneath the car. If it lasts 10 years before it goes south, I=
'll be satisfied with that.
