theyre heavy if you have to pick them up but are great jacks, you could probably get it a little cheaper from my matco guy if you paid cash

I forget what we use. It resides on jackstands so much i believe we just used the factory bottle jack and just leave it on jackstands

Ive been using the same 3 ton craftsman deal for ~14 years or so. Only jack I have ever owned. Dad bought it as a Christmas gift for me when I was in high school. No issues.

Rotary two post is what I use. Never had a problem getting under a vehicle without blocks.
