or


Central Hydrolics from Harbor Freight?

Stands:

Or do you have another recommendation?

Not looking to spend a lot...just for doing minor maintenance on the cars

I have a craftsman set I got from autozone a year ago......works great for me.

wow thats a awesome price on the craftsman set... i wouldnt hesitate if i needed some and those were available.

if you will be using jack stands then i dont see the issue with jack reliability / strength. if it will lift the car you're good.

i got i think its called arcan brand jack from costco for like $80 and it works fine
good for low pro cars too

I use the central hydraulic stands.. They're beefy and will do the job. The craftsman jack has a high profile and will give you trouble with any type of lowered car.

Costco has a really nice aluminun "racing" jack for good money.. Plust it's costco. Return for any reason. I still use my costco "suv" jack and it's been a soldier thoughout the years. I've probably used it on at least 30 cars x multiple times.
