Finally got my Arcan XL325R floor jack. $105 at Costco. Thanks to fellow GJ members for recommending it. :thumbup:
Seems to be a great unit so far. Low profile, wide base, long reach, quick pump action ... my only small complaint would be this thing is heavy. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Funny story ... since I was recovering from surgery at the time, heavy lifting was best avoided. So I scoped out the situation and decided it would be best to just slide the box off the stack directly onto a shopping cart, then slide the box into the trunk of my Mustang. A friend could help me with it later.
To make a long story short ... I left the heavily laden cart in one central location and loaded other items as needed. Twice I observed Costco workers from afar taking items from my cart & put them back on the shelf, obviously thinking the cart had been abandoned. Just had to laugh since they didn't put the heavy floor jack back as well.

Here's a few pics. The old Blackhawk and Sears jacks will be relegated to secondary use from now on.

I just purchased this jack after reading several reviews on here. I was about to purchase Harbor Freight's new low profile 2ton jack until I saw the welds in person. I don't expect much from any of the newer chinese jacks, but this one seems like a keeper. The Arcan is low enough to fit under the K-member brace on my very lowered sn95 mustang.

While you every right to do so, it's my opinion that you should have added your comments to existing ARCAN jack thread(s) and not started yet another new one.

Thank you for allowing me to share my feelings.
