ARCAN 2-Ton Quick Rise Aluminum Floor Jack with Dual Pump Pistons, Reinforced Lift Arm, Low Profile Saddle, and Vehicle Protection Bumper, Model A20017

I've only had this a short time. I will say at this point it works great. It's SO light. And yes the wheels are metal and has a nice saddle pad. Even though it light in weight its still stable and sturdy. I've been lifting an Avalanche, Tahoe and a Silverado with out any problems.

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.

Great Piece of Equipment... I stayed away from the 3Ton because of some reviews, plus i have my 3ton Daytonas.. This 2Ton however is only 46lbs and a Lift height of 20" (I measured it and weighed it) . I got an Erection from this Fine piece of equipment. Fit and finish is solid. best 2Ton Aluminum for the money...Did i say it Looks amazing.... Very sturdy, beefy. Safety first...

Bought this to take over for my first steel jack, since I couldn't get it under my MS3 after I had some suspension installed. This thing is a beast for a DIY'er, and way easier to operate with the extra long handle and the speed. Makes working on the car so much easier. I've had it less than a week, and I've already been able to work on the car a few times in the middle of the week to install some endlinks, replace the oil, and replace the fog lights (which requires taking the bumper off). Normally I'd have to set aside an entire day during the weekend just to be able to do all that, but having this jack allowed me to get these tasks done in an evening. The construction is sound feels pretty indestructible. Only issue I've run into is that it's gotten jammed a couple times when letting the car down (which has had to happen a lot if you're aware of what's involved with installing endlinks), which a good yank and a kick fixed. Gotta be mindful of the way it moves when letting it down to keep that from happening. Otherwise, totally happy with this purchase, and I see this being one of my favorite tools in the garage for a long time.

Well, what is there to say about a jack? I got a new car which I plan on doing extensive work to, and as such I needed to replace my old little 1 ton or whatever it was rated at jack. Having already experienced a scare with an improperly placed jack in my time, I've grown very cautious when it comes to working on a car with a jack and jack stands (or maybe I'm spoiled by friends who work at shops with lifts). I can gladly say that this is probably the best jack I've worked with. It has a nice low profile design that allows you to get under most lowered cars, but there are probably better jacks out there if you have an extremely low sitting car. It raises a vehicle very quickly and without too many pumps, and by far the most important thing to me, it lowers a car smoothly without having to worry about it dropping out on you. I also set jack stands under it but left it under the K member supporting the entire weight of the front of the car for a good 15 minutes or so and it didn't appear to lose any pressure or drop at all. As others mentioned, the quality is surprisingly good, and the reviews here are a large part of why I bought this particular jack. For the price I am very impressed and feel much more confident using this jack than any other I've used in the past. In fact, I'd say I was a little more excited about this jack than you'd normally expect a person to be about a tool, haha. I expect to get many good years of use out of this jack and highly recommend it to anyone else looking for a new jack for a small to mid sized car. If you have a larger truck or SUV, you may want to consider getting a jack with a higher lift and capacity.

Pictures show a lime green or blue jack. It did say colors may vary. So I thought I would receive a green or blue jack. The jack was silver. Not a nice looking color. I’m dissatisfied with the color. As for the jack it is a great jack mechanical. Lightweight and pumps up all the way in 8 pumps. I’m giving one star because of the disappointing color.

Awesome floor jack! Heavier than expected given that it's made from aluminum, but also much beefier than even steel ones I've used in the past. This is a bit of a monster for a diy'er, make sure you look at pictures online that show scale before buying. Personally, I think the size is a plus, but may be too big if you're looking to keep it in your trunk. Lever is very long, and I love that you don't remove the handle to lower the jack. There is a u-joint that connects to a square recess in the handle that allows you to lower the jack when its in the same position as when jacking up the car. Doesn't require very many pumps to get a car of the ground, way less than a cheapo jack. Pad is huge, which spreads out the weight, and it has a nice rubber insert for gentle contact. Fairly low profile, I can't see getting it under your vehicle being a problem unless it's an inch off the ground... All-in-all just a great all around jack, highly recommend it to anyone that works one their own car. Buy it, and you'll quickly realize the time savings justifies the price.

Is this normal for a new jack?

Good product
