Floor Jacks, was RE: [s-cars] Robbery....LeMans Classic video lost forever!!

[Peter Schulz]

Chris Miller and I went to Sam's Warehouse and each picked up the Michelin 3.5 ton  Floor Jack.
(like I needed a third one!)

Comes in Michelin blue, has a rubber pad on the saddle, universal joint mechanism instead of the star type, nice long handle, gradual transition from pumping up/ down, 1-2 pumps to reach the jack point from the down position and maximum 22 inch lift, rolls easily, too. Pumps easily.

Yes it's made in China, but appears to be high quality.

Makes a nice Holiday gift...
