Good Floor Jack?

[joshuaalbert]

Anyone have any suggestions on a quality floor jack? I want to paint my calipers and assume all I need is a floor jack to hoist the car one side at a time. Sound right?

I got mine at Sears, make sure you get their lowest profile model, or it won't work.

I have the traditional style Craftsman floor jack, like a ton-and-a-half or something. That's the jack capacity, but the weight of the jack itself isn't far from that, either.
Leeedwards is right, the low-profile job is what you need, as I have to be very careful about where I place mine as it won't fit otherwise. Also, get a hockey puck to place in the jack saddle to keep from marring soft aluminum parts.
Costco usually has a low-profile aluminum floor jack that looks pretty good, but I've not take the plunge for one yet.

This is a little one....

I have that aluminum race jack from Costco that Ronzi mentioned. It's pretty nice, plenty low enough to get under the box, has a rubber pad on the seat so you don't need the auxiliary jacking pad and it's pretty light to drag around. Best of all, it was like $120.00.
