    Let's talk floor jacks

    So i'm in the market for a new jack big long handle, low profile, weighs less then 20ish kg's south of $250 is the Arcan cealj1.5tb with a profile of 91mm lowered my only option?

    What do you use and how do you rate it?
    My current jack is a Orcan something, something, something that takes ages to lift a corner and i'm over it.
    Must be some jack enthusiasts out there

    It's pretty good for the price. My previous car was lowered on coilovers so I needed a low profile jack

    I use everyday 2 of these Kincrome Aluminum Racing Jack Safe Working Load: 1000Kg. for several years now and had only one replaced under the warranty (oil leak), very light and with the twin pumps. Mine are the ealrier version that was rated at 1200kg .

    I've got an arcan jack from
    Costco as well. It's pretty decent considering the price. Still need to drive onto blocks to lift the car though..

    I had a look at that jack, looks nice and solid, but north of my budget ATM.
