My floor jack bite the dust, need a new one (advise)

My 7 yr. old 3 ton wal mart jack has had it and I am going to buy a new one. I want an aluminum one and have been looking at northern tool and harbor fieght at some jacks. Have any of yall bought one of these jacks and if so how are they. I know these are not the best made jacks in the world but for no more than I use them I would think they would be fine. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

I've got this one, for $80 I like it and it's holding up so far (1yr). Another place you might look is Greg Smith Equipment, looks to be quality stuff and they have a warehouse in Atlanta.

I picked up a real nice 3 ton heavy duty at Sams Club for Father's day, paid $75 for it, very heavy duty, I've broken two others over the years, I think this one will last a long time..

Re: My floor jack bite the dust, need a new one (advise)

I couldn't get my full size 3 ton jack under my lowered truck without first jacking it up a little with a old scissor jack, Got sick of that and bought THIS one. It's a nice jack for the price and being light weight is a plus with my back back.
