I've had my third floor jack go kaput. What is a durable jack that fits your Vantage nicely?

For those of you that have lifts, yes that's great and I'm jealous.

 

I was just looking at the Omega 29023. My current jacks are not low enough so I have to drive up on 2x10s to lift the car.

 

I was also jealous of friends with lifts (and got tired of climbing under cars). You might want to consider a BendPak 6000 pound capacity mid-rise scissor lift using the suggested hockey puck spacers. It works just fine if space is limited.

 

I've been putting off a new jack for too long. I'm looking at getting a Arcan XL2T in the very near future.

 

I have a Sears jack for the past 20 years

 

I like it and it goes up to 24 inches!

 

My Craftsman jack at home is terrible.

A friend of mine uses this 3 ton Low Profile Steel Heavy Duty Floor Jack with Rapid Pump® from Pittsburg and loves them.

He got another one just last week because he mentioned they were on sale.

 

The one that just gave out is a Craftsman. It looks an awful lot like that Pittsburgh one.

 

I've had a basic Craftsman jack for a decade. Did its job but was never that great. Takes forever to lift anything because it has a slight leak and can't hold pressure. If you've seen the video of me getting my car on jackstands, it's a long video because the jack sucks so badly.

I just ordered an Arcan XL2T from Amazon. There's now free shipping for Prime members, too. Two days ago it was a little more expensive and required paid shipping, so today it's a little over a hundred bucks off the total of what it was a couple days ago.

 

I got mine from Walmart about 3-4 yrs ago and it has been bullet proof, I use it more than most, as I restore cars for fun. I have had it holding up the backend of a 73 charger for sevreal days without issue. It is a low floor jack, goes from 2 1/2 to 19 1/2" and I use it on my Aston with a rubber pad on top of a 3" long 2x4.
Do not remember the brand, but will post it later.

 

I converted (modified) a small cheapie from the local Autozone, it slides under, lifts the Vantage in seconds and I take it in the boot in case I need to do a roadside flat repair, it's just a bit heavy

Will post a pic when I get a chance and get it out
Less then 19 USD for any one who is half handy.

 

Haha, I noticed that too and they had a returned/used for 160 in Amazon-warehouse.
