So what's the difference between the $200 HF jack, the $130 HF jack, and the $90 HF jack?

 

the lifting height, and the number of pumps required to get to that height (gear ratio? =P)

 

That technique only helps if the minimum lifting height is not low enough, and does not affect the maximum lifting height.[/quote:0ec0a9f4e7]

the guy said his car was too low for a specific jack..

i gave him a suggestion that allows him to pick out any jack..

 

Aha! You're right. Sorry... ops:

 

Min & max height are the major differences between the jacks. They will all life our cars.

 

Looks like the handles are longer, too, and some other dimensions are different.
