It's a 2-piston unit with a square jack plate, a "swooped" frame, and 2 front wheels. About 45#. I picked one up a few months ago when it was $77 and I thought it was a good deal. Now it's a steal. Very happy with it as a general purpose jack so far. Quality seems fine, very good for the price.

This is a little nicer unit than the 35# 1 1/2 ton that they were selling last year for $132 (I have one of those too). The 2-ton is a little more maneuverable and the extra width from the 2 front wheels makes it a LOT more stable.

Just thought I'd share. Don't let the price scare you away.

(PS I also picked up the $60 Michelin 7000# jack for lifting the Suburban. Not quite as impressed with that one - first one I got wasn't built worth a damn (main frame bolts cross-threaded and not fully threaded in!), replacement seems OK but the overall manufacturing quality still seems shoddy.)

I have the Michelin jack and am very happy with it. It doesnt even mind being left out in the weather :shock:
