I bought the H/F jack, but I paid close to $160.00. It works fine

Not trying to slam HF tools but most of their stuff is inferior quality.
Why not wait, save your pennies and buy a better jack.
I myself own and use some HF tools, but on lifting equipment its best not to skimp.
Just my opinion.

Sabot,
I agree with you, but I use the low profile jack to get the car up only!
Then she goes onto jack stands

I could not find a jack when I got my Z for under $400.00, that's why I went to H/F

That was the 3 ton version, which I have too. I agree this is not the best jack out there, but it is cheap and effective to take to the track and you need to worry about it walking away.

I have the little HF racing jack and I think its great. Its cheap and low profile. I have a large jack and stands for when I'm under the car, but for brake/rotor/wheel work (especially at the track) its works great, its light and portable with ball-lock handle.

The jack works great with the round BMW jacking pucks (which are also slick, I keep a puck in each front chassis hole and jack the whole side of the car up from there. I leave them in all the time. Some people say they break after a while, but mine seem fine. They are about $6 at the local BMW dealer)
