This review is for 2 Ton aluminum Arcan floor jack. The instruction booklet that came with the package indicates the product weight as 46.3 lbs and the package weight as 50.7 lbs. It is definitely much lighter than my previous 3-1/2 ton steel jack and it is light enough to easily maneuver it around or for one person to load it into a car trunk for trasporting it. We have Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX 5 SUV's and their weight is in the range 1.75 to 1.9 ton and the actual weight the jack sees will be a fraction of that; therefore, the jack should be strong enough, with good safety margin and it should last for a very long time. I do not recommend this jack for lifting a heavy SUV or truck. Clearly written instruction was included with the package. I tested the jack lifting my RAV4 and let it stay up for 30 minutes. It heldup. If you need to lift compact SUVs and sedans, this is the optimum jack.

I purchased this jack because of it lift range 3.5" - 18.5". Due to the jack points on my Jeep. I needed something that had a range over 17". This lift just accommodates that requirement. It being low profile is not necessary for the Jeep, however, you never know if you might need it for something else that you may need the low profile for.Pros:- Appears to be solidly constructed- Steel wheels- Can release or raise the jack from any handle position- Hydraulic Pump lifts the jack easilyCons:- Heavy (Relate to your standard in-car jack)- Retaining Wire can be tricky to removeThis jack has performed well in all the uses that I have needed it for. I have a lifted Jeep Wrangler that has 35" tires and I used the jack to rotation the tires. As well as, install an upgraded suspension. The lift works great.It raises with minimal pumping and lifts extremely well.When the jack is delivered, there is a retaining wire installed to keep the jack from accidentally raising during shipping. This took me a little time to figure out how to remove. There are really no instructions with the exception of the warning document that tells you to remove it before use. After several attempts at man handling the wire with little success. I decided to remove the bolt that the under portion of the wire was on. This bolt was not retaining any part of mechanism other than stability and strength of the jack at that area. Since it was not under pressure I decided it was safe to remove. Once the bolt was removed, the wire was released and I replaced the bolt back into its original position.The jack pumps up standard to any jack I have used of the same type. I found this jack easy to use. Twist handle Clockwise to set for lifting. Turn handle Counter-Clockwise to release. I have read reviews reporting that when you try to slowly release the pressure that the vehicle only releases to the ground. I have no such issues, I can feather the jack down a little if I need, in order to set a little pressure on the tire for instance, to tighten the lag nuts. I have no problems at all adjusting the height slightly up or down.Jack has taken on several projects since I purchased it and shows no signs of wear. It was shipped without damage and I love having this tool in my garage. Just what I was expecting. Great Jack !!!
