Downeast Johnny Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Light weight is important. I have to carry the jack around the dirt floor barn that is my work shop. I like the jacks that pump up to the lifting point in one or two handle pumps. Country of origin is somewhat important. (Don't want to buy no JUNK). Rather spend more once than buy twice. Other than that lifting capacity is the only other thing that I am real concerned with. Here are a couple that I am studying. Open to your suggestions. Thanks. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047D2FWM/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.sears.com/schwaben-low-profile-lightweight-aluminum-floor-jack/p-00931019000P?prdNo=8&blockNo=8&blockType=G8 There is about an inch more lift with the Arcan. I like the single roller on the front of the Schwaben but it might be a little light in the lifting capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETHL_SS Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 The Amazon link one is similar to what I have and think you'd really like it. I have an OTC aluminum floor jack with two pistons that I used for my Vette but it still works just fine with my truck. It's been fantastic with no issues what so ever. I've used the sears version aluminum jack and it sucked at life! Always leaked and had piston issues. http://www.amazon.com/OTC-1532-Capacity-Aluminum-Racing/dp/B000XSCEBM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408890402&sr=8-2&keywords=otc+floor+jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks Butch. I have been all over the NAPA site and haven't had any luck finding the racing jack. When you get back to work, could you post a part # for it? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
