Need a new floor jack, suggestions?

[arpenn]

I had a old china made 2.5 ton floor jack that my wife bought for me at Sams 15 years ago. It started leaking down and won't pump now. I also have a sears 3 ton jack that I hate and it's too tall to go under the race car. So I am in need of a new jack. I have looked at the aluminum race jacks at HF and the Torin or Larin (I don't remember which) jacks at walmart, but I don't know what to get. I haven't looked at Sam's Club yet. I would like to get a jack that will last more than a year or two. The lighter the better also because I will be hauling it to the track, but I also don't want to spend my lifes savings on a new floor jack. Suggestions or jacks to avoid?

The Harbor Freight Aluminums are good value.

Ours has lasted for years now. Though it is mostly used for track only weekends.

I've had my Harbor Freight jack for 6 years and never had an issue. Haul it to the track and use it at home on various vehicles. My only complaint is that it won't lift my Superduty

+3 for Harbor Freight. My 3ton regularly lifts a 94 Suburban 4 years old and still going strong.

I've had a Sears aluminum jack for several years and can't say enough good things about it. They are well built and on sale regularly.
