Re: new toy... (sciolist)
you really have to see the thing, mind you , i have the "non" racing jack from harbour freight, and i have to remove the hat to fit it under the front crossmember. i cannot lift it. it is heavy, no i would not be in the right mind to drive around with it daily, or even at all, but the aluminum one is built better, has smoother action (ever tried to lower the car from what seems like five feet slowly without dropping it?, it is scary withouth a NICE hydrolic jack) and it has rubber hat that sits LOW.
it is WORTH it, they used to go for 500-700 each

Re: new toy... (bryan305)
the regular one? too many IMO.
the "racing" one i heard is 5-6, but my lifts higher. and it is STEADY, i left it up without jackstands for two days, did not drop a fraction of an inch

Re: new toy... (90crxsi)
I have one too 
make sure your on level ground and centered because it the car leans to one side the side plates of the jack will stress and fracture, then it will crumble. Those sides are onl cast al. This was the warning i was given at the track by a few auto x guys who have seen it happen.

Re: new toy... (90crxsi)
I haven't used it on the car yet, but, the lift pad is quite low. So getting it under my low HB shouldn't be an issue. It also works great(so far). My wife stood on it while I operated the jack, and it's handle operation is very smooth. Granted she's only 105lbs -or so, not the 2000lb weight of my car. This jack gets a big from me!
from me!
