How much shorter is it than a regular jack?

The other nice thing is it has a beefy handle, and a clip on the side to hold the pump handle. The 14 inch height is a little too low for an oil change, but perfect for changing wheels, but I'm used to the 22 inch lift on my SUV jack.

I've got a big floor jack for my garage, but having a portable shorty for slaloms where I don't need ramps would be nice.

As was pointed out in the HADA board, the price appears to be the regular price for the jack, so it's not 'on' sale, but it is 'for' sale... :)

Here's a pic:

one of my friends picked up one very similar to this one at a costco for around 188.00

super light, and purty

http://www.jmtools.com/details.asp?Itemid=11-3032

but compared the price and capacity

the crappy tire is a deal

the one he had was 3 1/2 inches and went under the lowered
miata on 13's easily..

no more pos helper ramps to lift the car.

its cheap, a low profile 2 ton and great for lowered cars!!!

The point was that a 300 lb lifting capacity seems a little low for jacking up a car. OR maybe it's just me :rolleyes:

or maybe he forgot a zero and the lifting capacity is really 3000lbs...
