| where can i buy a low profile jack?
Hi guys, i was wondering where you can get a low profile jack in victoria, other than canadian tire. Hoping to not spend to much. I currently have a michelin aluminum low pro jack from canadian tire which crapped out on me. Shitty thing is i only had it for like 2yrs and used it less than 15 times.
suggestions would be great.
thanks

I'm also in the market. I had an incident with my old jack and it is now kinda bent.

Me too. I've got 2 floor jacks (both leaky from Canadian Tire) and my car's too low to get them under.

I've had one of the cheapos aluminum low-profile jacks from Princess Auto for several years... it's taken a beating and still works.... I think Walmart caries the same jack with different branding.
You can kinda see it in this pic of my messy ass garage...

Got one from Costco, says it's super low pro, but it still doesn't fit under my car...... at stock ride height.
