Tom you shouldnt be going under the car ever with just the floor jack underneath.. Put some normal jacks down FFS. durr.

Ive only used my dads epicly old floor jack, raises much further than any of the new ones, and its like 150 lbs.

Yeah i know that. I was just grabbing a socket that i dropped and was only under there for a second (which is no excuse). It was funny, when the car slammed down on me, i sat there for a second as the oil pan was pressing up against my face thinking, "can i wiggle my toes. can i move my fingers" my buddy who was standing next to the car when it happened didnt say a word thinking i was dead.. he bends over to look and was the palest black guy i had ever saw... he says "uhm are you dead" of which i reply "well no but can you get the car off of me." hahaha.

Chang was telling me about this one cause he has one too. Did you guys use a coupon to get it that cheap or is it just not on their website? Cause it isn't on there now. :( best deal on their site for a low profile jack is an orange one for $80.

The OTC 1532 floor jack takes 5 full pumps to reach the maximum height and it only weighs around 40 pounds.

Does it pump that fast when it has a load on it though? My Craftsman one will go to full height in like 2 pumps with no load on it. But soon as it gets a load on it, it pumps normally (by design).

I had a blue and silver aluminum floor jack like but it was made by clarke. It didn't last long though. The threads stripped out of the valve to be able to jack it up. I paid 149 for it and it didn't last a month. Its under warranty but have to send it to Europe to get it covered.

I just got that orange one from HF for $80. It is lower profile, and goes higher than the nicest aluminum one they have, which is $130 on sale right now. It isn't a rapid pump,and is a bit heavy, but it is super solid and I dont mind hefting it on and off the trailer. Finally able to get the chumpcar from ride height (uber low, little clearance with garden edging lip) to a very workable height without having to reposition on stands and add blocks on the jack to get it high enough.
