<div>I have a similar “hybrid” aluminum/steel jack from costco. I think it
was about $100 for a 3 ton. So far so good.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I do have a question, the loop handles on the side, are they just for ease
of movement, or structural? I ask because I removed mine to allow me to
get jack stands closer to the jack. With the handles there I often
couldn’t get the stands positioned where they should go as there are limited
places support areas on many cars.</div>

<div>thanks,</div>
