Default Lightweight Aluminum Floor Jack

I'm looking to replace my P.O.S. Pep Boys aluminum jack. Does anybody know where I can get one? I was cosidering the Craftsman Jack for $200.00, but it got a bunch of bad reviews. I want something low profile and light enough to be portable. Any advice would be a big help,Thanks.

I have a U.S. General (that I got from all places...... Harbor Frieght). I thought its was going to be a POS but its done very well. Its the same jack that Jegs sells. Good Luck

I've got the 2 ton Alum. jack from Harbor Freight . One difference between the Jegs one posted and the 2 ton U.S. General is that this one has dual pumps which I like a lot more. I've had the 1.5 ton single pump U.S. General jack for two days and didn't feel comfortable with it. I love the 2 ton one, actually much better than the 1.5 ton. I carry it around to AutoX events and stuff like that. Don't buy a Craftsman jack, atleast not Alum. I have heard too many bad stories about the seals blowing out. And they do not have a lifetime warranty like you think of when you think of craftsman.

I've got that craftsman jack you were worried about being cheap. It's been good so far, I've had mine for about a year and a half.
