Just a heads up, I recieved my Princess Auto Sales flyer in the mail today.

The 1 1/2 ton aluminum low profile floor jack is on sale from Feb 22nd to Mar 6th. The regular price is $199.99 and it is on sale for $129.99
This is the floor jack that will be on sale: http://www.princessauto.com/workshop/garage/lifting-devices/jacks/8074668-1-1/2-ton-aluminum-floor-jack

 

the canadian tire one was on sale this week too, but that ends tonight i think

 

I actually purchased the Canadian Tire one a couple months ago on sale. I didn't like it so I returned it.
I did a fair bit of research and I wound up buying the Tire Rack 2 Ton jack http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=67 I purchased it because it is a bit more capacity, has a higher lift and never read any bad reports about it.
The Princess Auto jack was my second choice.

 

I have the PA one it works great for lowered cars

 

LMAO, I cracked up when I read the description:

"Stroke: 8 to 9 times to reach max. lift"

I think that should be rated x or maybe my minds in the gutter again.

 

Hmmmmmmmm, gutter gets my vote.

 

^^^^^^^ you guys. That is funny.

I guess different strokes for different folks.

 

I got the PA floor jack. The first one I got leaked, but there were no problems in getting it exchanged. I'm happy with it but would prefer a little more lift at times.

 

That's why I got the Tire rack jack, it's range is 3 1/2" to 19".
I know Swivelhips also has the PA floor jack and he is very satisfied with it.

 

my first one actually leaked as well, but no questions asked exchange.

 

Yup, it's decent.

 

Where do you live again?

We had this sale in my part of Ontario at the beginning of February, I have a rain cheque for it and it was for $99.99

 

Great price. I have one aslo. IIRC you also need to buy a saddle and a hockey puck. You don't really need the saddle and puck if it only sits in the box in the garage as mine does.

 

I need to get a horse before I buy a saddle.

 

Oooo this sounds like a good deal!

Sammy - agreed your mind is in the gutter

Ian - welcome back! How was your trip?
