I really can't see how anyone can argue on this. This the *only* jack I use for everything I do. I got by using cheapo jacks before - never again. I moved up to the real thing, and have never looked back.

As author of several automotive books, and an enthusiast myself, this is the *only* jack that I recommend and endorse. And I've had others (HF, Sears, Snap-on, etc.) - tried them all. This is the one. You will not be disappointed.

My GM here at Pelican just got one (left over one). He also cannot understand why anyone would use another jack. "Wayne, you were right" he said to me the other day. "This jack is awesome!"

.....and it weighs how much? I think we are missing the point here.......again. Of course there are superior jacks. I know Chris, he didn't buy the jack because he didn't want to spend any more money. He bought it because he was looking for something 'portable.' Same with Jack Olsen. Same with me.

There is only one style of budget priced alum jack. And it may not be the best POS in the world, but by God, it won't break your back carrying it when you need to. Did I mention it won't rust? Mine is sitting out in the rain right now. Forgot it last night.
