I bought a 2-1/2 ton aluminum floor jack from Harbor freight. I got tired of my old 30 year old craftsman jack slowly creeping down to the floor and my 3 ton made in china all steel that weights what seems like 3 ton, dropping to the floor quickly when I try to slowly release it.

The new one was on sale for $180 and operates so smooth is very low to the floor, rapid jack and much lighter for me to carry.
