Low profile floor jack, a must have!

While at SoCalHHR's place not to long ago, Mike showed Mr. B a must have for those with lowered HHR's!

While looking in the Sunday paper advertisements Mr. B found that very low profile floor jack Mike showed him.
What an excuse to do the tire rotation today! Went to our local Pep Boys and bought the proper tool to do the task!

The Pep Boys price was $89.99 with a $10.00 mail in rebate. (rebate offer good until 08/26/2005)

Here is some info:
This 1 1/2-ton all-aluminum jack with fully anodized finish has all the features of a professional aluminum race jack, and at a value price! Plus, it's lightweight for easy transport and positioning.
1 1/2-ton capacity
Minimum height of only 3.3in. is ideal for low-clearance vehicles
Maximu, lift of 14.8in. takes only 10 strokes
Model T815005L

What this first picture doesen't show and I really like is the rubber sleeve on the handle so it wont damage the side of your HHR.

Thanks MIke!

That's cool...great price too

A must have if you're lowered. I can't live without my floor jack, was wondering what I'd have to do once I lower, my regular jack just barely fits under my stock height HHR.

Nice find Sindy....and a good price for an aluminum jack. Looks like it will work great for the lowered HHR's too.

Great info and recommendation SindyDix. I hope to be able to "praise the lowered" soon.

Craftman Floor jack, Love them.

Hello, I use these low profile jacks from Sears and they work perfectly. From the lowered HHR to our other cars you can't go wrong with the Sears warranty. Good luck

I drive up on four 2" X 12" X 16" boards and it gives me the extra space
to get my jack under the vehicle.

Craftsman does have some nice low-profile jacks. Watch for the Holiday and tool sales and you can get them at great prices.
