Reply to "Model 200T Floor Jack"

That looks a lot like the one I bought:

It's made in Denmark. I wonder if the American Forge and Foundry version is
a Chinese knock-off? All of my cars are lowered and most of the "low profile"
jacks are low only for the first few inches and just don't work under my cars.
It seems there's a lot of questionable quality low cost Chinese import stuff
and some very expensive U.S. made stuff aimed at professional garages and not
a lot in between. After a fair bit of searching, I settled on DK13HLQ model
and couldn't be happier with it. The saddle height is only 3.1" and the height
stays low for the first 16 inches then tapers up. Not only does it slide
underneath all my cars but it also raises them high enough (lift height is
29.2") that I can actually work comfortably underneath them. The jack has
a wide handle that makes it easy to slowly lower the car and also has a foot
pedal that quickly lifts the jack until contact is made and each pump of the
handle moves the car quite a bit. It even glides around nicely, with the
rear wheels pivoting on ball bearings. Plus it doesn't bleed down under
load. I got the optional rubber pad. The price has gone up a bit since I
purchased mine but I'd still buy another.
