Price: $999.00
I hate to see how much it is, too.

If it's the low profile jack, I saw it recently too. I thought the price was $89.

Anyway, its a nice jack particularly because it so low profile it is easy to fit under anywhere under any vehicle and useful for installing lifts because you can go almost to ground with axle.

It is heavy because it is a bit long in order to provide sufficient lift.

I will probably replace one my old jacks with that unit in the next 2 months or sooner if I notice inventory is low.

Love my aluminum 4000 lb Craftsman. Going on 4+ years with no problems out of it. It's $219, but I think you can catch them on sales for $199 sometimes.

I've always had fairly cheapo floor jacks and have never had a problem. Obviously I don't crawl under the vehicle while using them however, mainly just for tire rotations. If I need to get under there, I'll use ramps or stands.
