Arcan Aluminum jack

Hi.

Anybody have any opinions about this jack?

Arcan Aluminum Quick Lift Garage Jack — 2-Ton, Model# ALJ2T | Jacks | Northern Tool + Equipment

The same company makes the XL35 which is apparently a pretty good 3-1/2 ton deal, but it's a bit heavy for me.

I know that this is light duty, but my biggest load is the mini van, and that comes in at 2 tons total.

Reviews were pretty good on Amazon, and I can buy it for 199 at Northern Tool right here in town.

Just hoping for some feedback,

hj

I have one that looks identical that I got from harbor freight. I really like it, but the quick lift action only works with NO load on it. Also it is super low profile for low vehicles.
I think I paid around $160 for it last fall. So far no complaints...
Hope that helps.
