Decent low-profile Jack that isn't stupid expensive?
Honestly I don't even know which brand(s) to trust for this sort of thing right now.
I'm looking for a low-profile jack that will let me get the ZL1 up in the air. Quality is obviously first priority, but something that isn't stupidly expensive would be nice... Recommendations are appreciated! |

Not sure which HF I have (red one) but, works like a champ, no issues.

Awesome, I appreciate the input guys. Sounds like there are many options that will work for me.
On the other end of the spectrum - are there any brands ya'll would suggest I avoid no matter what? |

This is the current version of what I have. I got it at Northern Tool under Arcan's Blackline label. It was under $250 back then and I used the NT 20% off coupon they send all the time. It's no longer on their site. It's pretty well made, maybe that dual plunger pump has something to do with it.
https://www.amazon.com/Arcan-2-Ton-S.../dp/B007G83T16 I've had a couple HF jacks and they never failed but were a bit harder to work with. I did have to put wheels on one. I have a Ranger long reach that lifts 31" for my 4x4 and I broke the piece that pushes the pump plunger. Summit replaced the jack. Don't understand why you would make that part from cast iron, and now I have to be a little more gentle with that jack because I know that piece can break. I hate having to baby tools.
