Need floor jack (DFW area) - Honda Prelude Forum

syshs · 10-21-2007, 06:03 PM

1. Whats the minimum tons floor jack should I buy for a 5th gen Prelude or it doesnt really matter?
2. Which is a good brand, but not expensive?
3. Where can I buy it locally? Pep Boys? Orilleys?
4. Anyone want to sell/give away their floor jack? LMK.

Thanks

Yeah, I bought a crappy Duralast for $25 from AutoZone, returned it.... need something good, but not expensive.

If you are talking about the I30 and Beltine right where mesquite and garland meet, technically it is a Northern Tool & Equipment....but it is pretty much the same thing as a Harbor Frieght

I just recently picked up a jack at Northern when I had to pull my transmission to replace that pivot bolt that the shift fork pivots on.

I think I picked up this one : LINK

I haven't had any problems so far but I am sure that these are not built to last forever...
