Floor jacks for lowered MGs

I want one, but where do I get the coupon?

Hi All,

I am with Jim. The HF jack rocks !
I got one last year and the quality is great. Price is unbeatable. Very low weight.
strongly recommend.

Sorry, Dan. My extra $30 off coupon has expired. It's still on sale for $139.99, though. The one I bought is not light at 93 lbs.

HF runs the same sales all the time. It'll come back around id expect.

HF has the same 2 ton low profile jack in aluminum also. I had it with me at BV8 2013 and Ken H used it. It is fairly light. The jack that Carl has lifts from 2 5/8", the aluminum one lifts from 3 1/4", and 42.6 lbs.

Calvin,

I didn't see the one I got in aluminum. It is not only low, it has an extra long (and low) reach.

I'm having this problem right now and have to use my Kia jack to get it up high enough to get my standard floor jack under it. I'm sold, that will be my next purchase. Well....maybe after a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread.

Yea it isn't as low as the low profile you have Carl, but it is low to get under the car at the jacking point.

I guess they couldn't make the aluminum one as low as the steel one. Maybe it wouldn't be strong enough.

Looks like the same one on ebay for about $90 including shipping

Larry,

I have that jack also, but it is smaller but looks the same. The long bar wheel at one end gave it away. That jack is small enough to fit in the boot area or trunk. It is real low to the ground but will not go very high up.

Just got back from HF store and I'm the proud new father of a 61253 low profile 3 ton jack. 29" not counting the tail and weighted in at 71.7 pounds; cigars would have been available but I've already smoked them...Sorry. Instead of 81.00 it was 84.00 but I'm not going to scream about that. They said the 68050 2 ton version has been discontinued and they couldn't order it for me, the 61253 3 ton is it's replacement. You get a little less height, 20" rather than 23" and the min height is 2-3/4 rather than 2-5/8 but still enough for me. My GT is a little low but it's more than 3". I think I liked the 2 ton better but this one is fine.

Bought two of the 2 ton ones this afternoon at HF....thanks for the heads up Carl!

I would have bought a 2 ton also but none of the HF's in my area had one and it was the last day for the sale.
