Floor jack recommendation
 

Looking for a decent floor jack. I see jeggs has them from $50 to well over 1K. I want a 2 ton jack and don't want to spend more than $200.

I've had good luck with the aluminum Pittsburgh jacks from Harbor Freight.

Agree, I'm surprised how solid they are. I have two of them.

I've had this one for 2 years with no problems. Aluminum jacks are way easier to handle than the steel and I really like how it goes up quickly until it hits what you are lifting.

I use jacks all day every day in my line of work. The only CHEAP jack that is worth a crap is a OTC stinger 3 ton. They are a little over $200 on eBay and we have been using them for probably 10 years with no problems. A harbor freight or craftsman jack last about a year when used everyday. This OTC jack is your best bet for a cheap jack. Jeff wurl

I have 2 of these in my home shop. Really really solid and I've been super happy. Have had them for 5+ years zero problems. Lifted everything from low mustangs to my lifted F350.

I have a 25 year old steel 3-ton Craftsman jack that is still my main jack. Never touched it and still works flawless and I use a jack quite a bit. I bought an aluminum 2-ton Craftsman jack a few years ago and it only lasted a couple years before the seals gave out. So far the Pittsburgh is holding up better than the Craftsman did as far as aluminum jacks go. Good to know on the OTC.

I have a 3ton Pittsburgh and its been good for 4 years.

Harbor freight Aluminum. they hold up great actually

I bought a steel 3 ton (I think, maybe 3.5 ton?) at HF to keep in the back of my tow vehicle. It was cheap / on sale for about $120 or so. I hope I never have to use it, but it is there if I do need it. The steel ones are very heavy - but again, I didn't want an expensive one that might get stolen or permanently borrowed.
