[s-cars] Racing jack

[Ben Swann]

I have had nothing but good results with my Harbor Freight Aluminum Racing Jack.  They
have had this on sale for $60 listed in ads of many magazines such as Pop. Science,
European Car, etc.

I use it for everything and it has lasted better than several more expensive jacks.  The
jack is very low profile and light and the $60 one is rated at 3000 LB.  The downside is
height, but I just use a 4X4 to add height.

If I was buying all new jacks, I'd get two of these, and in fact may just do that, since
they are inexpensive.

I have had a HF racing jack for a couple years now. I use it all the time in all kinds
of situations (I own a salvage yard) and it has held up well. It cost me $80 and it was
money well spent. The only thing I have done to it is tighten the bolts holding it
together.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lightweight racing jack,? 
perhaps something one step above the Harbor Freight ones?

I'm looking at the OTC 1532 at $225. Anyone have experience with these? Anything else to
consider...

I'm tired of lugging my 85 lb Sears floor jack to autocross events!

Thanks!
