Let's talk floor jacks

So i'm in the market for a new jack big long handle, low profile, weighs less then 20ish kg's south of $250 is the Arcan cealj1.5tb with a profile of 91mm lowered my only option?

What do you use and how do you rate it?
My current jack is a Orcan something, something, something that takes ages to lift a corner and i'm over it.
Must be some jack enthusiasts out there

I got my Arcan low profile, lightweight jack from Costco - was about $160.

Yeah a few people are reselling them on eBay, how do you like it?

It's pretty good for the price. My previous car was lowered on coilovers so I needed a low profile jack

I use everyday 2 of these Kincrome Aluminum Racing Jack Safe Working Load: 1000Kg. for several years now and had only one replaced under the warranty (oil leak), very light and with the twin pumps. Mine are the ealrier version that was rated at 1200kg .

I've got an arcan jack from
Costco as well. It's pretty decent considering the price. Still need to drive onto blocks to lift the car though..

I had a look at that jack, looks nice and solid, but north of my budget ATM.

The Arcan is seeming like a winar

What's the minimum height on the Arcan from Costco? 91mm as written in the OP?

Yes, that is correct.

ANybody know if Costco is still selling those Arcan jacks? Cheapest I can find is on ebay from a dude in Melbourne selling them for $199. Still cheap compared to others listed.

Thanks

Went to Costco 2 weeks ago and they still had the jacks there. This is in Canberra though.

Hmm...okay thanks. I'll go this week to have a looksee. Fingers crossed.

I ended up buying this one - TRADEQUIP HEAVY DUTY LOW PROFILE HIGH LIFT JACK

Expensive but one of the best investments I've made. I don't ever dread about swapping my wheels around anymore haha.

Ooh now that by far the jack with the lowest "minimum height". The ones I've seen are all 90-91mm minimum height. 70mm minimum height is perfect for nearly all applications. Not too expensive either.

That's with the cup too. Removed it and it's about 60mm now
