Hi Jack...(oops!) er Bob,
Tell your friend that probably the cheapest new air jacks would be obtained 
from Harbor Freight, or some other place that would import them directly 
from China.  Here in Canada we have Princess Auto, but with the dollar at 
par it makes little sense to shop up here.  Looking ar HF's web site, it 
looks like they have a couple of air-over-hydraulic bottle jacks that could 
do for less than $100, but I'd be leery of them tipping over.  Of course, 
the ones with wheels are over that price range.....but safe_R_....
HF also sells some manual Aluminum Racing jacks....they are more work to 
operate, but they have some cool LED lights to entertain you while you 
work.....or sorry, "entertain your friend while he works".
Cheers!
