Tool talk: What kind of floor jack is everyone using?
I am thinking about one of these.

I want someone much lighter now since I am not as young as I used to be. Almost injured my back when I brought it over to a friend's house.

By the way, do you have the 4000 lbs capacity version?
How much did you pay for yours? From what I have read, this jack seems to provide excellent value and I really want to buy one. Sears.ca doesn't have it listed on their site and Sears.com doesn't ship to Canada. 
I had considered the one that <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=77715">Griot's Garage</a> is selling, but a bit steep for my pocket. Besides, it's made in Spain so I will pay through the nose for duty.<ul><li><a href="http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_SessionID=@@@@2126960280.1126336480@ @@@&BV_EngineID=ccehaddfjfgmimlcegecegjdghldfo m.0&vertical=TOOL&pid=00950239000">Craftsm an 4000 lb.
