| Description: | Choosing the best floor jack for your garage sounds simple enough — that is until you begin your search and quickly get overwhelmed by all the choices. There are smaller car jacks, budget floor jacks, low profile jacks, high-lift jacks, aluminum jacks, 2-ton, 3-ton, and heavy duty floor jacks just to name a few. So we decided to make things easier for you by narrowing down all these choices as we review the top 5 floor jacks based on your needs.
The jacks that we have listed are rolling hydraulic floor jacks designed for cars, trucks, and SUV’s. Also known as trolley jacks for the rolling frame they are affixed to, these types of jacks are easy to move around your garage, driveway, or workshop and are known for being very versatile as well as stable.
One thing we want to note is that most floor jacks available today are made overseas. American made floor jacks can be purchased, but you will pay on average three times or more the price for one. While we would like to recommend American made jacks, it just doesn’t make economic sense due to the fact there seems to be little evidence that such a jack performs three times as well and is worth that high a price for the average consumer. |
