I am looking for a small simple car jack. I have the regular stock lifts that come in the trunk of every car but those are usually very awkward to handle and take a much longer time to use (cranking back and forth). I am looking for a lift/jack like in the pictures for cheap. Anyone know 1. How much they usually run about 2. Can they fit in the back of a regular sedan trunk 3. If its worth using rather than using regular manual lift ![http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/minijack2.jpg](http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/minijack2.jpg) ![http://www.rudeart.us/images/carjack1.jpg](http://www.rudeart.us/images/carjack1.jpg) ---

No, a CAD image of a jack will fail miserably at getting your car off the ground. If it somehow does, I seriously need to hire you. But yeah, go to HF on central, spend some odd $60-$80 or whatever they are now, and pick up their small aluminum “race jack”. Works dandy for this app. Don’t buy those sears ones, they’re junk. The HF jacks outlast them by a long shot. ---

I have never heard of them before but they are on central avenue as far as their location goes I think. Maybe I will go check them out when I get time. 25$ doesnt seem too bad for a jack. ---

They are on central, right next to daddy’s junky music and scottrade. I have the 80 dollar one. No experience with the cheaper one though. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/can-someone-help-me-find-this-cheap/254996.md?page=2)
