Lightweight Floor Jacks???

Kevin Panzino · Yesterday, 03:11 PM

So, I am really disgusted with the current state of floor jacks. I cant stand these cheap Chinese pieces of crap, and I have always tried to avoid spending my money on communist fecal matter. But I cannot find anything in-between a $1300+ legit high-end nascar jack and the ~$175 China junk?

Does anyone know of something in-between that you have had a good experience with?

Kevin, several of my guys have had good luck with the aluminum racing jack from OTC. It's a bit heavier than those cheaper ones, but I think that adds to the better quality.
But, your research is correct. There's not a lot out there between the high dollar ones versus the cheap import ones.

Sue bought me 2 of those for Christmas 15 or so years ago. Back then they had a lifetime warranty. I mailed in the card but who knows if they would actually stand behind it. I've never had any problem with either of them

If OTC brand is not in the budget check out Torin or Big Red products. They are off shore but i have very good service with them. I have used there jacks, lift cylinder for my engine hoist and there bottle jack for my 20 ton press.
