Just an friendly FYI for the DIY'ers and anyone else who needs a quality jack: Sears currently has Craftsman 2.5 ton car jacks on sale for $18.xx. Comes with a carrying case as well. Nice looking unit. My last cheapo Advanced Auto jack broke, so needed a replacement.

 

what, i just got a floor jack from them for $45. its a low profile though.

which one are you talking about? do you know the model number?

 

Oh snap!! GOod deal! I'm going to Sears to grab one tomorrow if it's the low profile jack for $18.XX!

 

This is the only jack i'll ever buy next. It's the ultimate low profile jack. It doesn't get higher at the end like most wannabe low profile jacks. This is what is used on super low cars. no more running over pieces of wood.

^ Only $239.99!!! DYYAAMMNNN!!

 

ya, ouch....thats too much..... im lowered on coilovers and i need the low profile jack for the front, but when i jack from the back i use the drivers side tow hook to lift the rear......

the sears one on the link above is good enough for me.......

LOL. it's worth it though. And you know it.

 

i have that exact same one at home. I think it's garbage. The low profile has no use every time i jack up the car. It always hits that big hump.

 

I have the craftsman one and I'm on my 2nd one. 1st one sheared off the pumping part. I used it like normal no abuse at all. I was pissed I went to use it and I had the fluid all over the floor. If the replacement one breaks I'm shelling out some more money on a better one.

 

weird, mine did that too. I got mine replaced for free through sears though. i was expecting better from craftsman.

 

I guess we get what we paid for Ah well, for ~18.xx, it'll be enough to get me through oil changes until I can change up.

Part number- I stowed this thing in the trunk of my beater, which I didn't drive today. I'll check it out when I get home. At Sears, I only saw 2, the low profile one and the one I got. My friend and I used his same one to jack up my gf's Si to put her body kit on, so it should be low enough to use on a Z (of stock height anyway, like me )

Edit- http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...0P?vName=Tools - Here's the link to the jack. Didn't get too rave of reviews, but hey, for less than $20, you can't complain! They have it listed for $19.99, but when I went in they gave me another 10% off for some reason, making it $18.xx.

 

For 230 I will pick my car up a bit and have my wife roll the jack under my ride....

ohh wait.. my shizzil isnt that low...lol

Im good.

hehehehe

 

Its shows that the price jumped up $10. Not as cheap anymore
