Model 200T Floor Jack

Interesting jack comparison link.

Looking at the list I wondered why they didnt have the old Walker brand that I used to see so often in all the car shops. But when I looked through the tests that Lincoln looks just like the Walker.
I have owned a Craftsman 2 Ton jack for almost 25 years. Has never failed me. I paid $99 for it on sale. They would only do that price once in awhile, so instead of $149 (If memory serves me!) I waited for it to go back on sale, an I got to the store early before they sold out of em.

Jeff,
I checked out the Craftsman site. The reviews on some were terrible.

Which model have you had such long term luck with ?

A lot of jacks have a 3.5" height when lowered, but my problem is they rarely have enough maximum height. I would love more room underneath (must be my big belly).

This looks pretty cool. Anyone know of this model?

The one I have was under $200 and is sold all over as a fast-lift aluminum racing jack (China made, I'm sure). It will even get under my GT40 and I think the total lift is 22" — way more than I trust my jack-stands at (hence my back-up system) and not too heavy either.

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.

Pantera 4134, I havent seen Sears sell these jacks for years. But here it is.

Just got the American Forge model 200T. It is made in China ( BOO!Where else ? )
It is very well made and has a year warranty and can be serviced all over the U.S.

This bad boy is a monster. It has a large rubber jack pad and is very easy to use. Nice
adjustable release for slow to fast drop.
It is heavy at 100 lbs. But feels very solid and a secure lift.

Good price from the link below $168 with free shipping.
