Because the Costco jack is the bomb. It's lightweight aluminum, lifts your car in 4-5 full pumps and is a lot lower than that heap of scrap metal that comes with free leaks.

amazing!
That's pretty much it Dan
I use to use it once a week. Virtually every weekend and it has given me NO problems what so ever
It will easily lift my car and lift it high enough so i can put my stands under the pinch wields and have me under the car with heaps of head room
Don't do what i did and have a hand me down supercheao auto one - couldnt even left higher than 25cm... And even then it wouldn't hold pressure
Only down side of my floor jack - its foockin heavy, over 30kg's hahaha
The jacking point tends to dip in abit.
I ended up making an additional bracket for mine as it dipped in.
BTW if people are interest i've got a Costco membership, maybe we can organise a group buy and all go down together.
Pretty sure i was able to bring in like 3-4 ppl last time, they just don't let anyone buy without a card.
+1 for costco jack, got one for my car and its ground clearance is about 7cm and lifts to 50cm. good enough for me.
