<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">
<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> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks,</DIV>
