All steel.. gonna be like a good workout carrying around
IKR. I live in an apartment building, and it's a 2-300 foot walk to my car, plus stairs each way. I want this jack very much, but I doubt it's practical. I've been using a tire jack, and two 3-ton jack stands for years. I wonder if someone in a similar living arrangement bought one and has any feedback about his decision.

My 2 cents, I've had steel jacks since the late 70's and never had an issue, after 30 years maybe the piston seals leak and the jack will no longer stay up. I finally due to age and weight decided to try a harbor freight aluminum jack that lasted 6 months due to my Rx 350 must have been off level a drop near my driveway and BAM, that jack tilted and crushed like a tin can-it wasn't up high or off by much. I will never trust another aluminum jack, I used my old jacks on every surface you could imagine growing up and they never budged. Also always use a jack stand for safety with any jack. Happy Thanksgiving all
I'm assuming you were using a 3 ton jack to lift that Lexus when it failed.

78 pounds is a lot to go upstairs with when you have to carry it out in front of you because you can't put it over your shoulder and it won't hang onto you.

The trip across the lot might not be bad if you're allowed to pull it behind you, but otherwise you're talking about carrying this thing the length of a football field just to get to your vehicle. And then doing it again to store it in your apartment. I have a similar jack from HF and I would definitely be jacked if I had to carry it that distance every time I used it.

I'd probably stick with the screw jack, but maybe find a way to run it up with a cordless drill if I were lifting my vehicle very often.

yes I was, I have a 3 ton metal one also which is much heavier but its very solid. I have been jacking up cars for many years and even though it was very uncommon The metal jack would not have bent as easy as the aluminum to at least stop the car from bottoming out on the rotor, no damage thank God. I had a three ton jack stand I was just going to set up.

Shocking considering the lawsuits the company faces. Risky for them.

Which app? I put in that number into the Costco app and it comes up empty.

Nevermind! I can see it if I tap the Warehouse tab in the app.
Awesome! I learned something today.

I recently got an aluminum jack from Walmart. Even carefully keeping to the capacity limits, it's still kind of a cheaply made product that struggles to life even my little mini cooper. I wanted the aluminum for portability vs. my Harbor Freight jacks, and it is definitely easier to move around. That said, I'm not sure it's worth it. It doesn't lift very high or very quicky.

I recommend sticking with a steel jack like this one or one from H.F.

Arcan jacks have been great to me. I use a jack a couple times per week and every weekend and used to go through one harbor freight jack every 2 years. I have 1 arcan steel (similar to this one but it's green/black) and their hybrid model. I think I'm coming up on ~8 years on the hybrid and ~5 years on the steel and they work perfectly. It's insane how much better these are for about the same price.

People love the pricing of the Harbor Freight jacks, and maybe it makes sense to buy from there if you don't use them much, but they can often be more expensive in the long run because you have to buy replacements more frequently.

If only they sold rebuild kits.

I love Costco but I think the aluminum Daytona one that went on sale would be a better general buy, if it goes on sale again. It weights about half as much for the two ton. Unfortunately can't see the price it went on sale for the 3 ton. This is definitely cheaper though.
is it this one from HF?

Torin has an ebay store. They don't have anything on Sale right now but they'll often run 20 to 30% off sales on select models.

Or you can try adding a jack or two to your "WatchList" and then they'll send you an offer of a deal price.
