Low Profile Jack...

[nascar03]

I stopped by Princess Auto yesterday and came across a floor jack that goes down to 2 3/4"...!! 4K lbs
It fits great under my jacking pucks that I use on the C5. It should work well under the C3 crossmember as well. I wanted a long reach jack but this will be fine.
Priced at $159 and I had a $15 discount coupon from the mail... $144 + tax out the door.
It works great, and I already had a section of pool noodle to put over the handle.

I have the same, came from Princess auto 2 years ago. A little heavy but work great and doesn't take to much room as it is pretty short. Great buy

Graham, if you had run really fast you could have been out the door for a whole lot less.

 

[nascar03]

Run? with a jack?
Are you kidding...?
I had the young guy from the store carry it out to my car.

Graham I thought you were a NASCAR guy, those jacks have to weight more than that. Brunnhozelzl jacks have to weigh at least four pounds or something.

Good for you for sharing the work experience with the younger generation.

Got the same one last summer. Great little jack!
Princess Auto is somewhat of a candy store to say the least.

I'm still waiting for the long reach aluminum jack to go on sale at Princess Auto. In the meantime I got to smaller low profile jacks but with the Mustang, they don't go high enough.

Got Princess Autos latest flier today. They have the Power Built jack on sale for $119.99......25% off. I've been eyeing a long-reach jack from Canadian Tire, waiting for it to go on sale, but this deal may be too good to pass up.

LRV.. Thanx for the head's up!
I took my bill for the jack back to PA today and they refunded the difference!!!
Even though the sale is NOT in effect until next week!
Great people.

Thanx again
Graham

 

[lilredvette]

Got the flier yesterday....didn't notice the sale doesn't start until next Tuesday!

That's weird about the refund you got Graham. I bought a new motor for my rototiller for $200. Then it was later reduced it to $129. I phoned and asked if they had a 30 day price guarantee, they said no. The price difference cannot be refunded. And I've been shopping there for nearly 20 years. Store policy they said.

 

[nascar03]

Hi Al...
I had nothing to loose by asking....
I expected store-credit for the difference but she said they can put it right back on the Visa!!!

Graham

 

[New C5er]

Oh I asked too but the answer back in February this year was no. No 30 day price guarantee.
Al.

By the way just bought one of these. Very heavy duty. Got the 5,000lb model, free delivery too. Have not put it together yet.
