FYI - Harbor Freight 3000# aluminum floor jack is on sale again for $79.99 with free shipping. Nice light weight unit made by U.S. General.

Make sure you compare specs. They all seem to look the same, but some are smaller with less lift height and lift capacity. I have not investigated this one, just something I did notice in the past

The dimensions and specs of the Griot's one mentioned above are identical to the larger one sold by Harbor Freight for $139.99.

I have the benefit of living down the road from HF. They have a pile of these floor jacks at their store. I almost picked one up but I want to determing my minimum heigth for clearance.

Nice looking jack for the money. I spent nearly tripple on a Michelin speed lift 3-ton jack and feel that I got robbed on quality (it has warped form the weight of an RL

) and it loses it's speed when weight is applied

. I'm hoping $90 will provide the fix.

I have a Harbor Freight jack. Fits under the NSX without a problem. I think the pad height is about 3.5".

Do you know if it will fit under a lowered NSX (lowered by ~1.2 inch)?

Thank you.

At 3.5" it will

I've use the cheaper sub $100-200 version of the jack. They kindna suck. The aluminum rods and moving part flex a bit. I prefer a normal steel jack in my garage.

Its advantage is lighter weight if you transport the jack a lot. and also the rubber padded disk is nice.
