My 20 year old floor jack died last night [View all]

And, of course, Mr. Murphy decided to kill it AFTER I had placed Mrs. Best's car on jack stands to perform some maintenance. Ended up using the scissor jack from the trunk to get the car off the jack stands.

Been researching floor jacks and I'm between getting a lightweight aluminum (I'm not as young as I once was) and a heavy duty Daytona jack that can accommodate a lift bar that would allow me to lift the entire front (or back) of a car or truck.

I will never have ramps in my garage, there is a reason you don't see them at professional auto repair shops.
