Love this jack,

"I have had several Craftsman jacks and thought they were OK until I purchased this unit. I use it to work on the wife's Expedition and my Legacy (lowered). While it is heavy it is easy to maneuver around. I put a pad on the bar so I would not accidentally hit my bumper."

Arcan Quick Lift Jack,

November 7, 2009

By Anonymous

"I've owned several floor jacks and can say this is the best one yet. It's well made, has smooth operation and is low enough to fit under my cars which include a BMW. I also like the fact that the lifting range is on the high side especially considering how low it is when in the down position. I haven't tried this on anything heavier than an Outback wagon but it lifted that with ease and with few handle strokes. I would feel comfortable using this on an SUV or Truck."

Best all-round Jack,

"It use to take 20min to either jack up the car or the truck in stages. To jack the truck, I had to use the flimsy vehicle jack & a bottle jack. For the car, ramps and a floor jack. Now about 10 pumps and either the car or the truck is on jack stands, I am literally under the car in 3 minutes. This jack is great! It can get under the sports suspension of the car and it pushes the full size SUV up enough to overcome the articulated suspension. The jack has grease fittings so it is built to last...no more disposable jacks for me!"

"Well made floor jack. Lifts my Expedition with little effort. Handle is easy to manipulate when trying to lower vehicle, doesn't stick so when you release the pressure the car comes down easy. Jack is very heavy but not unmanagable. Very low profile fits under everthing with ease. Great jack for the money."

Jack Review,

November 2, 2009

By TxPres

"Was unable to find in stock in store, so ordered for delivery by UPS.
This is one of the best jacks I have ever seen, Great lifting range. Gets under my 911 with no problem, and lifts to over 21".
Very heavy, but has good capacity and very good finish. Not cheap, but worth every $."

Arcan hydraulic lift,

October 19, 2009

By mtnbikertx61

from Texas

"I looked at several lifts fromthe local stores to online purchases, without going into debt for a jack and getting the most for the dollar, this lift worked with no problems, three complete pumps on the handle and I was able to lift a full Chevy Suburban up for tire and brake repair with the lift centered on the front end. smooth elevation and no sway or movement, Release was simple via twist of handle, Also was able to lower vehicle in small increments with handle release easily, some jacks are unable to bleed off pressure to release vehicle. not the case here. Lift is heavy but sturdy, great for the shop, not for the road, the base plate holds whatever you are lifting, Low profile helps with the low vehicles also. Long extension handle allows better leverage also, It meets the standard and exceeds it ."

great jack for the $,

October 19, 2009

By strl

from Woodstock, Ga

"So far this jack has worked extremly well, it is low enough to get under 99% of all the cars you'll work on, and it is long enough to reach the cross member from the front of the car. The jack release's smoothly, no sudden drops, and it has a good lift hight. This jack is well built, I looked at other jacks that were more expensive that didn't offer the features and quality of this jack"

Outstanding shop jack!,

July 20, 2009

By woodsters

from NE Florida

"This is a very sturdy jack designed for use in a well-equipped home garage. With a 3 1/2 ton rated capacity, it is suited for lifting even the heaviest passenger vehicle, including SUV's. The low profile (3 1/2 inches) allows it to slide easily under the lowest ground-hugging car. The length of the handle makes it almost effortless to raise the hydraulic cylinder to it's maximum height.
The only two drawbacks I would note would be the weight and the pump location. First of all, you must be prepared for dragging this unit around. The wheels roll well, but considering the unit weighs over 100 pounds, it is not easily transported from one location to another. Secondly, the design of the pump location allows the handle to snap to the vertical position. If this happens, depending on the location of the jack, the handle may pop up and scratch or otherwise damage the vehicle.
Overall, an excellent value and exceptional jack!"
