It's bad that a 1.5 ton jack won't lift any of my vehicles. Too bad for me...

Not many cars are in the 6000# range...you must have some large vehicles.

1.5 Tons is 3000lbs.

 

[rsanter]

But are you lifting the whole car?

Helluva balancing act to get the whole vehicle off the ground at once...

I'd pay $10.00 to see that...

I'll bring the beer & popcorn.

Are they claiming 3000lbs total or a 3000lb vehicle?

 

[unluckyty]

I have one, use on my smaller cars. Lower lifting height than I like, and needs a longer handle for me. Greg

I've never found myself in a situation where I need to beat anyone jacking up a car. If I ever do, I hope to be using a racing jack I guess.

Its not about the speed. Its about the weight and ease of moving it around.

I thought these were generally laughed at here as being junk?

I know I wouldn't own one, they feel cheap to the touch and I wouldn't trust it.

Their steel models seem to be a better buy

I've been using the same aluminum racing jack from HF for 10 years now. The first half of its life it got tossed around in my race trailer before moving on to take up residency in the garage, where it is still used heavily.

It was a joke.

I have had mine 10 or 15 years but it is the size of the 2 ton jacks and branded with the us general name. It has been a good jack nice and light with plinty of lift. And rapid pump.

Bet my jack is faster than yours.
