I bought a steel low profile, long reach Daytona jack for less than half of the Snap on that it's a copy of. Nice jack. I haven't used it for 10 years, so I can't testify to it's longevity, but I'm satisfied with it so far.

Daytona does a few models of aluminum "race" jacks priced from $150 to $300. All are rated at 95% or above, if you trust reviews. HF has sales all the time. Worth a look at least.

Be interested to hear from real users of the Daytona stuff.

I started using the air bladder jacks (and jack stands of course) for the more simple stuff. Fits under my cars easily and is lighter. Also has a more stable base.

I have ProJacks for the more complicated things, but they don't get pulled out as often now.
