I use a Harbor Freight low profile jack that sells for 60.00 on sale in their ads. I was skeptical due to the low price but after 1 year it works great. I have 2 vipers (2005 and 2010) that I play with a lot so the jack gets a fair amount of use. It fits under the car great, has rubber lift point that doesn't scratch the frame lift points. It's very easy to pump the car into the air.

I use the same and it seems to work well.

I have the same jack and they are great for the money.

If it goes below 3" and weighs less than 40lbs then it's a good floor jack.

Harbor freight. Watch for discount coupons in the auto mags etc. Have bought 2 and delivered 1 to a bud in Canada upon request. GTS Bruce

me too, and it is "purdy" too

 

[Dave98]

I have the same one. It works great for me. Like some have said just watch for an ad from harbor freight and you can pick it up for 50 - 60 dollars.

Soooooo....

What do you guys think of the Harbor Freight floor jacks?

 

[BC Viper]

Bought a Performance Tool (Model # W1642) last December and it's great! 2 ton -- 2 3/4" to 20" lift range... works great on low pro cars like our Vipers! In fact, my bro-in-law has an '03 NSX-T that is slammed along with 19" wheels and he has no probs with getting underneath his car with this jack... highly recommended!

Is this the HF one?
Edit: Forget question, answered above.

Griots garage floor jack.
I got it for $315. Normally $399 but I waited until they had a 15% discount.
Lifetime Warranty and is 2 and 1/4" at its lowest height. Gets way under the Viper without ramps or having to drive up on 2x8.

I've got the HF aluminum one as well, but I got one that was little more expensive because the one that they put on sale all the time only goes up to something like 14". The one I got goes to around 19". Not that you need it on the Viper, but it makes it more usable for other cars as well.
An extra 5" can make a big difference! lol

I have had no problem with this "harbor freight" floor jack. My car is lowered with caps and it works perfect. Works so good I bought two!!

Five times the price of the HF?
Hope it changes the oil for you as well....

97snk, I like your jack, I think i will be picking one up

 

[JohnnyViper]

yikes thats an expensive $250 jack compared to the $60 harbor, I think I will be putting that money to my 4 post lift, but I do love that jack you got

Hey Viper 95 Kim,
Griots is having a sale this month if your interested.
$315 with a lifetime warranty was not too much to spend for the safety of me and my Viper.
Others may think it is too much, , but WHATEVER!
I had the HK jack for $79 and you get what you pay for. Thing started leaking after 3 years and I didn't even use it more than 10 times. Company didn't want to hear about it. Craftsman jack did the same thing to me after 5 years and it cost $99.
Also, check out the website and look at all the extra options it offers. BTW, I was wrong. Without the saddle plate, it's lowest height is 2".
Good luck with whatever you choose.
