<DIV>Bought me a cheap floor jack from WalMart for my Spitfire. One I bought
many years ago had a lifting brace only on one side and was rated IIRC at 2000
pounds. Finally the brace gave way. The WalMart replacement had braces on both
sides and would lift 3500 pounds – including my wife’s car (Kia Rondo) or my
trailer with the race car on it. Downside, doesn’t quite get low enough to get
under the car, solved with simple ramps built from a stack of 1x6s. Key factor –
in my garage the nifty Harbor Freight jacks don’t work because there isn’t room
to swing that loooong handle, while the WalMart jack has this little short
handle (yeah it takes 40 pumps to reach fully-up, but I don’t need NASCAR
pitstop speed). And it’s small enough and light enough to fit snugly in my tow
vehicle. </DIV>

Harbor Freight 3,000 lb jack just gave up after about ten years. Before I
buy another one, any other recommendations, or ones to stay away from? I'm
looking for light weight and a fair price - will pay something extra for quality
if there's a good argument for it.
