Anybody know of a good scissor jack?
 
Or any kind of small jack that won't lock up for the life of the jack? All the talk about wheels got me thinking, and my stock jack doesn't cut it anymore. :oh:

I do have a hydraulic jack, but I can't really use it as my car is a little low, so I'd like to find a flat scissor jack that I could store in my car that won't lock up or seize (I've had two honda jacks that have done this already).

Any suggestions?

they have low profile style hydraulic jacks for low cars.

If that don't work they lay a 2x4 down on the ground and drive ontop of it and it'll give you an extra 2" :)

yup, a fellow cb7tuner has a valve cover in the back of his car so he just drives on top of that.

I don't think the Honda jacks are meant for constant use. They're probably designed more for use in emergency situations. That said, I have seen scissor jacks at Sears and at automotive parts stores like Pepboys. I personally have a low profile hydraulic jack but what I tell people who want to save money is to do what firebane already suggested. Get a good hydraulic jack and lay down some 2x4's.
