That's a nice toy. I like the tray especially

Damn, two tons...........that aluminum is getting heavier every damn day. You'll need a jack to lift it up..........
I do love the low profile for the lifting puck.........excellent......... |

yea.. if it was the steel version I would have had to used a cart to get it to the car.
it does have a nice low profile. The delorean has a lowered suspension(aka someone chopped the springs) and with a 2x4 it fit right under the frame. |

I own the steel version........from 20 years ago.........with wheels on the front........without the low profile...........and you would need a cart to get it to the car...........then try and lift it into the car...........

How many inches of lift does it provide?
|
#9

|

18-1/2 inches is the max lift.
the reviews on sears.com is very low for this jack... I hope I dont have any issues with it. I bought it because craftsman is a good brand. |

I got some off brand china jack in a kit for Christmas, its tiny and rated "2 tons"....I tried lifting our 300E with it (just one front corner!) and it went up about half way, then it started to BEND!! I quickly lowered the car and deposited the jack in my "Scrap metal" heap.
I already have the "need a shopping cart to move it" Craftsman STEEL 3-ton jack....its a beast! I can lift the whole rear of my SD like 18" off the ground and it doesn't complain. Its black with two big wheels on the front. It must weigh a good 75lbs at least

All you boys with yer giant toys - I could pick up a couple of my yada's with some of those jacks (assuming I could get those monster jacks under the lowered yada and figure out how to balance said yada's) I've got a two ton harbor freight low profile that I picked up for $40 4 years ago. Pushes any corner or either end of the yadas, Gustav, or Gretel high enough to get jack stands underneath without complaint........

I got one of those light and low ones last fall for the Miata. Its pretty nice.
I have a gigantic sears steel one too but you have to drive up on blocks to get it under anything low enough to autocross!
