Cranky,
Thanks for sharing the economical aluminum floor jack source with everyone. I couldn't justify purchasing a race jack at the usual cost, even though I wanted one really badly. My wife will be getting me one!
I have been to the eBay auction site looking at these type jacks, and my word of caution is BEWARE! Most of the jacks listed appear to be U.S. General brand jacks purchased from Harbor Freight and relisted at a marked up price. The shipping charged varies from $25-$58. Harbor Freight charges $5.95 shipping.
