Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Aluminum jack

[LtWacko (ltwacko]

Everyone that I know has already blown his 3000 lbs...  (I know what you're 
thinkin'...  )

Pay the extra dough and get the 2-ton.  The 1-1/2 is on sale right now for $80 
so I would imagine the 2-ton is on sale too.  If you are on their mailing list, 
you would also have the current additional 15% off coupon.

I have this identical jack in my garage now, I use it regularly to lift my 308 
onto jackstands.? Its 'good', but not 'great' in that the jack is dead-lifting 
a weight close to its max-rating.? It will push the car up, but it will require 
some serious pushing DOWN on the handle to get the car to rise.? Sooner or 
later, I will end up blowing seals, but until then I'm getting my money's 
worth.? Charles Perry has/had Harbour Freight's 'one-tier-up' racing jack that 
has a very-similar low profile, but has an extra 1,000 LB. lift capacity - I 
believe its only another $60 more.....?

Have you tried one like this?

I'm thinking of getting a low profile jack similar to this one.  I'm 
getting tired of replacing the cup on my standard floor jack with a 
piece of plywood to get under the TR.
