Best deal on 2 ton alu. jack?

[Bob Beamesderfer]

Too narrow for what? The SC450?

Am talking about the 1.5 ton H.F. jack that I tossed - that front roller just doesn't do well on rough/uneven surfaces; I want the added stability of the four wheel, 2+ton types.

You're talking about rolling it around, not actually jacking up the car?

[Bill Schenker]

Jacking up. The wheels weren't rolling very well any more (for the last year) and I had some close calls with the car nearly tipping off the opposite side jack stands.

Why not just keep a piece of thin plywood handy so that the jack can roll smoothly?

Seems like the problem you're experiencing is caused by the small diameter front wheel getting stuck on roughness in the tarmac surface. A bigger wheel will roll over these things better, but that makes the jack heavier and more unwieldy. Faking out a smoother surface with a piece of plywood might be the easiest way to improve the situation. Of course, that assumes that the bearings in the wheels are good.

Good news Bill. If you buy this one, you'll be able to get it up in just six strokes.

Ordered. HF only has a 30 day in store/90 day ship-to-manufacturer warranty; TR is 1 yr. ship-to-mana. so that's why I went the TR one. ~$192.00 shipped from Reno.

What is amazing Bill, is that Mikey has a shopping kart, a breadbox, and a Freddie Mercury roadster... And besides the hat, we know he lusts for the Segway. Yet... We voted him in as our leader.
