Floor jack recommendations?
If I remember correctly Canadian Tire carries an aluminum Michelin Jack that goes on sale from time to time. Looks like a good unit and you know how Canadian Tire sale prices go..usually 40-60% off.
For cheap you should check out Princess Auto.

yea, it's on sale now actually. Gonna check out Costco and Can Tire tonight, thanks guys.
This is the best low profile jack hands down. It's heavy and it's expensive, but it is my favorite tool in the garage.

I have two of these, pick em up at TSC store.

My car still needs wood to get it under but it fits under 80% of the cars I work on.

checked out costco, it's similar to the one you listed 4DGS. It's $100 and weights a ton. Checking the description they both have dual pistons. The Costco one says it's as low as 4", and has two wheels in front instead of one.
I'm just gonna wait abit to see if it goes on sale at Costco (doubt it). The crappy tire jacks that were on sale all looked like garbage.

I bought one of these from wal mart on sale for like $70 years ago. it was a torin black maxx. no problems just the jack handle spring broke. I use it about every day for 5 years, I gave torin a call and they sent me a replacement for free... i would recommend it any day.
I saw this the other day, northern has them in the book, under another name but would like to pick it up too, it jacks up higher.

I also own a harbor freight special aluminum racing jacks you see on sale for around $80 all the time. It has been great use more than my other jack. Owned for about 5 years also.
