Aluminum floor jack suggestion

[dickeymoore]

I'm looking to purchase a aluminum floor jack and a 2 ton through 3 ton any good name brands to buy that will not break the bank or all of them made the same place overseas I'm looking for a good quality one for cheap price or should I just go to my local Harbor Freight and pick up a Pittsburgh brand name

Good quality and cheap price don't go together. Why aluminum? I'd suggest the YELLOW Daytona Jack at Harbor Freight. Very nice jack.

I would like the lightweight aluminum Jack I have the heavy metal

Ive had an aluminum Arcan 3 ton for a really long time and its been pretty good. I bought it at a Costco. I also have a Hein Warner steel one that I bought new in the mid 70s. Its heavy but still works like it did when it was new after all these years.

I was looking at the Arcan

I have the Pittsburgh brand from Harbor Freight. Use it 90% of the time I want a jack over my trusty steel Craftsman that is more heavy duty. The lightweight aluminum is nice, my first one lasted over 10 years before one pump giving out, haven't scrapped it yet as I'm wondering if repairable, but bought another one to replace it. The rapid pumping is a big reason why I use it over the Craftsman I have as well.

I have two of the blue/silver Harbor Freight Pittsburgh aluminum jacks. I have a 4 post ramp lift in my garage and they are easy to lift on and off the lift to change wheels/tires.

As far as quality goes I have the small harbour freight Pittsburgh aluminum jack I take with me and it's been very dependable
