Hey guys,
I was at Costco this past weekend and noticed that the familiar Arcan XL325R floor jack has been replaced with a different model.
The new jack is a "hybrid" jack, which is constructed with a combination of steel and aluminum materials. As a result, the weight is only 60 lbs compared to 99 lbs.
From a functional standpoint, I noticed two major differences. First, the maximum lift height of this model is 18.6", which is down from the 21.375" before. The minimum lift height also increased modestly from 3.5 to 3.75".
Overall, for most people, I think this jack will be a better fit for the average joe who likely prefers a lighter jack (for easier maneuverability) and does not need every bit of lift height.
Has anyone purchased this jack? I did a quick google search and was not able to locate any information.
Thanks.
