Power tools and car parts may get all the attention this time of year. But do you know what’s even more important? A floor jack and jack stands. This holiday, make sure they can use those new power tools to install new car parts by assuring they can lift their cars safely. I’ve found great Black Friday deals on garage equipment to help with that. After all, a jack and jack stands that make perfect gifts for the car fan on your list, even if it’s you.
There’s a whole slew of floor jacks and jack stands to choose from, and even who you can buy from. I looked all over the Internet and found the best deals at Eastwood, Acme Tools, and, of course, Amazon. This Sunex 3 Ton Steel Floor Jack for $150.99 seems like it’s probably the best deal in floor jacks, but I think the Eastwood 3 ton Low Profile for $179.97 is actually a little bit lower. For those of you with sports cars, you know every fraction of an inch matters.
There’s just as much selection in jack stands. I might have to pick up these BIG RED Torin Aluminum Jack Stands for $58.90. I like pin-style stands, and these are nice and lightweight, too. I’ve also picked out a Gearwrench Bottle Jack for $54.99. I hardly ever use a bottle jack to lift my car, but once it’s in the air, to lift up the engine while doing an engine mount or trying to get a control arm positioned just right to get the bolt in, these are invaluable. Lastly, I can’t seem to find my creeper seat. So I might get this multi-position creeper for $41.61, and I’ll be able to sit for suspension and brake work or lay it down for napping—errr working under the car.
