Default Race Jack

Picked up a Torin 1.5 Ton aluminum race jack 26lbs from COSCO. Seems like the perfect jack for all us up North for the winter tire switch.

Default Just use the "widow maker" that came with the car. Live on the edge.

I actually got a Torin low profile race jack (prolly the same thing you got) from COSTCO a few years ago and it has been great.

Default I actually just bought the same Torin jack, but returned it a couple of days ago because...

I didn't like the number of pumps it took to raise the car. I did end up getting another Torin, but I went with the double-pump model. Outside of taking less effort to raise the car, the double-pump model is actually a little bigger. I think the 1.5 ton model at Costco is 28lbs, whereas the the model I got is 49lbs. So, I guess it would depend on what you are using it for.<ul><li><a href="http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200313353_200313353">http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200313353_200313353</a</li></ul>

Default **** that, i'll stick with my 3 1/2 ton Torin.

when it comes to floor jacks, small and light shouldn't be a priority.

What track is that? How's Iowa treating you? I moved away from CR just before the flood.
