View Full Version : Prepping for autocross got a whole lot easier for me

...I finally broke down and bought a nice jack! This whole time i was changing out my tires with factory supplied jack and a torque wrench. This thing is awesome! Jacks the car up fast with a few pumps, and its a low profile-high lift type so it slides under my car with no problem! best $130 bucks spent! Now i need some speed-bleeders and a little air compressor.

sucks that people had bad experiences with them..my cousin has had one for a while and no issues. all my tools are craftsman and have never had any problems with quality from there products so i went with a name that i know...to each is own..if it turns out to be a heap then o-well, for now, im happy that i won't be soo fucking exhausted after jacking up my car with a lil weak factory jack.

i've had a hand me down craftsman jack for 6-7 years, and i dont know how long the previous owner has had it. never had a single problem with it, never done any maintenance on it and it sits in the rain all year long.

Next, save up and get a Cordless Impact Gun and you'll be changing tires in a few minutes.
I have heard mixed things about the Craftsman Floor jacks, be sure to always use stands when the car is in the air, there have been a few cases of failures when the jack is up in the air, some o-rings blow out and the car drops.
I have a POS Harbor Freight jack and its been problem free for 4 years now. If it goes I'll toss it and get another.
