I work on our 3 cars, the heaviest being a Mazda CX-9, the new addition. For the last 7 years, have used a $20 two ton floor jack (Team Machanix) from advanced auto, along with 2 ton stands. It is only able to lift one tire at a time on my Van and Camry, has also started to leak oil. I am not going to fix it. The Mazda does not have a good spot for jacking one tire at a time, the points are on the cross membrane, so unless I want to damage to body, I have to jack half the car up (front or rear). No way my jack can do that.

So without braking the bank, these are my candidates for purchase. My DIY projects are engine/transmission oil, brakes and brake fluid flushes, maybe some basic suspension work and anything else that comes up and I can do without danger to my life. The Mazda seems to require the highest lift height, not sure how much yet though since not been able to get the tires off ground. I always use the stands as anybody should, have safety goggles, and throw the tires under the car.

1- Home depot online, not sure about the extension pipe; 2- Sears; 3- Two different options from Harbor freight; low profile is nice if I ever get my sporty midlife crisis car 4- This jack I can get from local Costco for $100. All good comments above. I don’t have experience with any of these, so I’ll defer to the experts here.

My one comment, based on my own floor jack experience – I work on both a light weight, low to the ground Toyota Corolla and a fairly heavy, high clearance Ford 4wd truck – make sure the jack specs meets your weight requirements, and the high and low extremes. It’s very frustrating if the jack won’t fit under what it needs to fit under when retracted, and when the jack hits its vertical limit, when you still have another 1/2 inch to clear the tab on the jackstands.

To me speed isn’t that important. If it takes another minute to jack the car, that’s fine w/me. As long as it safely lifts the weight and has the range. One add’l question I have for others here about floor jacks. Jacking up just one wheel of the Corolla requires placing the jack at a place where there is a 3/8 inch metal seam running lengthwise down the underside of the car. If I just placed the jack there, it would crush the seam. So what I did was sawed a slice (90 degrees to the grain) in a small piece of 2 x 4 lumber that just fits the car’s seam.

Then I place that between the jack and the car. Is that a good and safe idea?

Or am I looking for trouble? It seems like lots of folks must have this problem, but I’ve never seen anything to solve it. It seems like the best sol’n would be something like a hockey puck with a groove in it to fit the seam. Anybody have ideas? I don’t have a problem with things made overseas.

Did you know that IBM Thinkpads were built in China by Lenovo? My iPhone was built in China, and it’s the best cellular phone I’ve ever owned.

Not all Chinese products are junk. If OTC makes top notch products, why would they buy garbage from China to sell with their name on it? OTC more likely buys a product that they are pleased to sell to the American buyer, and the cost for this high quality product just happens to to be best from China.

Remember that it’s a two way street. Both OTC and their contract manufacturer have to work together to build a product worth of the OTC name. It isn’t easy, and it requires OTC to send people to China frequently to make sure the job is done right.

Product disasters usually occur when the US buyer doesn’t pay attention to the supplier after the deal is cut. The same could be said for Snap-On and Bluepoint. A Bluepoint creeper I bought many years ago had a caster break off and once the caster was off I could see the manufacturer’s stamp. That stamp looked vaguely familiar so I dug out an old creeper.

It had the same stamp as an old K-Mart brand creeper I had chunked into the corner after a caster broke off of it. The only difference was the ink logo and the color of the vinyl on the headrest and of course, the Bluepoint price was many times higher Personally, I think Craftsman quality even on hand tools is down as over the last half a dozen or so years I’ve had a number of tool failures that really should not have happened. Sears replaces them but the breakages should not have happened at all.

One was a 1/2' drive breakover that I owned for probably 25 years with never a problem. Eventually the drive sheared in half and Sears swapped it out with no questions asked of course. Over the next 3 years the breakover drive broke in half twice more in the same manner and at this moment in time I need to have Sears swap it out yet again as the drive has about a 20 degree twist in it so it’s toast also.

Here is the link I thouht when lower it down, I have to turn the handle like other brands but it's not. I have to turn the small valve on the jack (not the handle) by hand and the car went down FAST. I don't feel it's safe because your hand gets very close to the car when it went down. May be I am missing some thing here. And the manual is very bad, only few lines on a small piece of paper with no pics. Bought it because for my Pilot also.
