    Very similar to these Power Torque ones I bought.

    If you can gauge the difference between 54 & 60 lbs. just by hefting it I'd say you're doing alright. :rofl:

    They're having a big sale this weekend. Don't know if that specific jack is included but you can check the HF website.

    Shout out to @maal11 for publicizing this.

    No but after doing lots of research and watching youtube videos Esco jack stands are what I’m going to buy. Probably from Home Depot, the kit with both axle and flat top extensions. Pricey at $107 each for the kit (need two) compared to $57 each stand (not the kit either the axle type or flat top extension) at A-m-a-z-o-n, but reading the critical reviews of poor quality and paint I have suspicion they may be fake branded Esco’s, and folks have had problems returning. I’ve bought lots of things from HD and their customer service and return policy is top notch, and I trust these to be the real thing.

    Haha I looked for a bathroom scale we had around here somewhere but couldn’t find it. I’m averaging about a 6 pound increase a year in how heavy things feel as I grow older so could just be me. :D

    I need a new jack for the truck... the one I use for my car is too short + would be at its weight limit..

    I am gonna start scrounging for a scissor lift, since someone on here said they had seen them for as little as 500$ . . .
    Patience and digging around usually nets me positive results ;)


    I have always wanted a lift and the scissor lift is what would work in my current garage set up.

    Gonna need to do brakes and such on both my car & truck, that would make those jobs 1000% easier - wrenching on shit/pounding on the car, while perched on jack stands is not something that makes me feel the best/safest.

    I picked up a pair of 6 ton astroline jack stands for $25 at a tag sale...except for their orange color they look very similar in construction.

    The box had a Tacoma on it so I bought them. They're OK. More cool factor than anything.

    Oh that one's nice....I don't think they make an equivalent anymore ...they all look not to have as long a reach....could be optical illusion I guess. But that looks super long

    5 page thread on floor jacks? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I think we have multiple 50 page threads on a paint color. :)

    You have measured? Esco specs say 13.2 in. minimum, 21.5 in. maximum. I’m good either way and will confirm when mine arrive.
