quick HF floor jack ?

[Reit38]

have a GC to use and looking at floor jacks at HF anyone know what the difference in these two are ? they appear to be the same just different item number.

item#61253
Item # 61282


and would this be a better one for $20 more? item#69227

I believe the top 2 are the same, just updated part number and you can get the last one for $69.99 also. There's plenty coupons/codes available for that. I think they all rank about the same although the top two lift higher and are low profile so I'd say get one of those two. Been looking at them myself. I have the 1.5 ton aluminum now. 3 years good so far.

I was aseaning towards the first one but I guess you can't add a 20% off coupon on jacks so I don't know if ill go with one atm

yea, that's a no go. They don't allow jacks on coupons.

I would go with the highest lift. In this case it's the low profile jacks. A couple of inches doesn't sound like much but sometimes that makes a major difference when trying to access something, especially if you would like to use a creeper. The biggest gripe I've seen with the cheaper jacks is usually the valve is either on or off. (Which means there is no such thing as gently lowering.)

Whatever you do, don't bother with the trolley jacks. I have found them to be virtually useless as they don't lift high enough, even to do something as simple as changing a tire.
