^ Which floor jack do you have? I'm looking for one lower than my current one. I just got this craftsman one no more than a week ago, and if I can get a lower profile one for the same price, It's going back lol.

Paid $350 for it.

for $350.00 i'm assuming it's gotta be a very nice jack. which model is it? the one i have is very cheap bought from harbor freight tools lol which works really well for slammed cars imo.

Craftsman aluminum 3 ton



I was looking at the Torin jacks previously. But the Omega jacks are priced similarly to my current one and have a 2.5" clearance.

There's a blue Pittsburg jack on HF that is like 2.5". It's dark grey. That was my other option. I just didn't want to wait for shipping lol.

A jack is a jack imo. Only reason I paid $350 is because the other (cheaper) low profile jack in stock was steel and weighed a ton. This aluminum one is around 60. Which is still pretty heavy, but a hell of a lot better than lugging around 100+ lbs lol.

Have you checked out the omega jacks? Really low.

i haven't, i think the same. a jack is a jack, it's only used to jack up cars lol. idc what brand just as long as it's low enough and capable of handling the job i'm fine with it. yeah, i don't like heavy jacks at all.
