This goes out to all you guys who do work in your garages, what is a solid brand when looking for something like this? Since I don't have either a floor jack or stands I need to get myself a set of 4. Would going with one of ebay a good bet? I found this off ebay and seems to fit what I need.

Or does that seem to good to be true? BTW I can't use those roll on stands because my front is dropped to low and it just does damage to my bumper. Thanks guys please post any links of good finds you guys get. I took auto and I'm sure I can do simple things like oil / tran change replacing brakes and rotors, which will save me heaps!

 

go to your nearest wal-mart and buy a $20 hydraulic 2-ton jack there, and grab some car stands while your at it.

that way, you can get a refund if something breaks...

 

Wow I didn't know walmart had that kind of stuff Since walmart is just 2 miles from me I think I will give that a try sometime tonite. BTW will 2 ton be enough for my Civic?

 

2 ton is deffinatly enough, i got a 2 ton jack, 2 jackstands and a creeper from pep-boys for $34 on sale

 

Yea, wal-mart, napa, places like that all have good deals on shop essentials like that. $40 is usually what you would usually pay for a special on something like that. A good set of say 4 jack stands, a 2 ton jack, and a creeper will go for about $100 but nothing more than that unless you start looking at snap-on or mac tools

 

don't cheap out, and don't bother paying shipping on something heavy that's available anywhere

sears = craftsman = warranty
