Purchased a HF Pittsburgh 2 ton Low-Profile Aluminum Racing Floor Jack with rapid pump in 2020 because I needed one right now. Fits under the race car well and it’ll jack the side of my 24’ trailer without the car in it. Light enough for me to pick up in necessary. Still works properly. China s h y t and cheap priced.

I purchased a Pittsburgh 3 ton Low-Profile with rapid pump Floor Jack in 2017 and it still going strong. I think it was $99 back then but how are you going to beat it. If you get a coupon, I believe they are $119 now from Harbor Freight.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ROLLIN',

I have got several and they have lasted well. The ones I got were the aluminum ones and much lighter than my old American made ones. Seems they have lasted as good as heavy American made ones.

I like the little one in the trailer as well as the 3 ton I purchased for the shop. Hard to beat my FIL's old HW and I will never let go of that thing. But I like the HF's.

The HF 2-ton aluminum is the best of that line with rapid pump, it's much lighter than the bigger models are much heavier. I use mine on pretty much all my jobs and it's never failed me...yet. The 1 1/2 ton is too little for anything other than changing an occasional tire, huge difference between it and the 2 ton.

LOL.
Like others have said, not bad. I bought a low-profile 2 Ton HF unit 9 years ago. Will get under about anything, and it also has a higher lift than my old Craftsman. Used it to swap trannies on a car that was on jack stands set high enough to slide a TH400 under the car, and it pushed the trans up into place. And yes, it also lifted the entire front end of my Duramax truck a couple of weeks ago. No seal leaks yet, and it gets used a lot more than many. You gotta crack the release knob very slowly, or it will drop your shyt in a hurry.

I have a Pittsburgh lopro 3 ton and a 1-1/2 ton aluminum racing jack. I am impressed with the quality now compared to the ones I bought a bunch of years ago. I also have a set of the 6 ton Daytona jack stands, that are great for trans removals, dont have to use 4x6's any more to get the car high enough.
