Northern tool also has some good deals on tq wrenches.

i know also go through a number of them also. As far as something light enough to be hauling up and down stairs, this combination aluminum steel 2.5 ton jack is a very good one for the price. One of other mechanics i share info with has one and likes it very much. I have an all aluminum jack that really isn't quite enough for lifting e34's very often. The one that would probably meet your needs best is this Torin

If you shop around on the net you can probably find it for less elsewhere. I remember seeing it for 99.00 one time. The floor jack that i like the best for the price is too heavy to carry up and down stairs and its being dropped by parts america but the Checker's store's still have them in stock and will usually discount the price substantially to get rid of them.

Edit, Omega also makes very good floor jacks and i like this one alot for going under lowered bmw's... its very low. But its quite heavy and wouldn't be a good choice for what you want.

That Jack looks like it might be the right fit for my needs. Thanks for the tip. For what I'll need it for, it'll suffice until I have appropriate space for something like that omega jack.

Thanks
