Thread: Good low profile light weight jack to take to autocross events?

    OZMDD,

    Where do they usually bend at?

    It does have a much smaller seat than the HF one, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

    The hinge, they are very narrow and lean easily.

    Thanks OZMDD, I may still have to order one for light work.

    Had to do some more research. On Amazon it got good reviews only 13 out of 98 giving it 2 or 1 star. No reports of bending, biggest complaint was that it leaked down or did not lift high enough.

    Of course I don’t expect it to be a heavy duty floor jack I know it’s the cheap stamped steel model.

    I decided that I wanted the jack with the larger pad, the one on the steel jack looked real small. Ended up getting the 2 ton aluminum Home Depot jack for $99 in store. It’s $180 on line.

    That HD jack looks pretty nice. I have a "Hybrid" Acran from Costco that was $99 as well, but I would guess its about 50lbs. Looks pretty similar though.

    Havent tried it on the Miata yet, will have to check before I take it anywhere, may have to find one with lower clearance, it is a 4" minimum, which is not an issue with the Jeep...

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    This sounds a little harsh.

    My fault, perhaps I'm the one that can't read, as I did not see the 'stands' part.

    The best recommendation is to change your tires at home.
