Floor jacks

My old floor jack is basically crap. I need a new one to go with my new 3700+ lb. car (X1). It'll probably get minimal use - swapping summer/winter wheels, occasionally helping out a buddy, etc. What's good but not super expensive?

I have had harbor freight race jack for years. Absolutely zero problems, it gets a lot of use. You can usually find a coupon for $60.

I got the extended length steel Harbor Freight one. I'm pretty happy with it. Low profile but high lift.

I got the craftsman low pro 3 ton jack (no HF here) and it's worked well for me for a number of years
