My 2 ton Arcan AL jack has been going downhill lately and finally bit the dust. Went to HF today and got one of the 2 Ton Daytona’s, AL and low profile. I like it, and its footprint is a bit smaller than the Arcan so easier to move around. Seems like a quality piece.

I guess HF finally caught me in the buying mood. Saw coupon below. DAYTONA 3 Ton Long-Reach Low-Profile Professional Floor Jack with RAPID PUMP for $189.99. Normally $239.99. Pretty nice piece! The height and profile are amazing. Like the high vis orange too. The low profile, and long reach, will serve well with newer cars.

I love mine too. The handles are very nice. It light too. It struggles picking up the front of my truck. I should take it apart and CIL it.

I stopped in and took a look at those as the spring that hold the handle up on my 30 year old Craftsman has broken. I liked the range of lift but, the thing is 104 pounds! Too much for an old stick man like me. I guess I'll just go on tripping over the handle and cussing the broken spring for a couple more years.

I was originally gonna buy another AL jack. But figured I can use the old one if I need light weight. I like the low profile and high lift of the steel one.
