jack recommendation
Not really too confident about this jack anymore. Anyone have a lightweight jack recommendation? I don't want a snap-on or daytona, they are too heavy. I have to carry it from the shed to the driveway, and I'm just too lazy to lug the hundred some odd pounds around like that.
Prefer trolley jack.

Naaah one for the scrap metal bin that, just not worth the hassle if anything went wrong.
I have an Arcan 2 or 3 tonne from Costco, was about £95 about 6 years ago.
Heavy though....and I can't pull it along the drive as it's gravel. Good reliable jack though to be honest.

Looking at a few in hardware and auto parts stores, from the looks of it all the trolley jacks are identical to the Pittsburgh, just with a different coat of paint. Is there any that are higher quality? The only one that seemed different was a Craftsman.
