I have an AC DK20Q, that's the one with the quick lift pedal. It's been used regularly for about 4 years on mostly Mercedes vehicles. It's held up well so far with no problems.

One thing that's really nice about these jacks is it's real easy to control letting the vehicle down very slowly if need be.

I just looked at the price of the DK20 and it's gone from $254 to $353 since the last time I looked a couple months ago. Super! I guess that's what I get for procrastinating...

Yeah, for some reason the prices have gone up a lot lately (maybe euro related)? It pays to shop around too as prices vary pretty widely. I'd check Pelican and Ultimate Garage? as they both sell these products.

Is the Costco jack you are referring to the Torin Aluminum Racing Jack 1.5 Ton jack?

This one..

I don't have this model AC but I second these comments. I've had my AC for about 3 yrs. however I haven't used it alot in the past 9 mos. since I got the scissor lift, but I would still recommend the AC.

Costco Jack is an Arcan #ALJ2T 2 ton jack 3.5"Low and 19.25"high. I also have the jack and recommend, I just happen to use the packing box for storage of Porsche parts. If I remember right the price is $99.99.

Is a 1.5 ton jack sufficent (for lifting the rear from under the motor)?

Yes, but...

The total car weighs about 1.6 tons. In my case, I wanted a buffer, so I went with the 2 ton.

My jackstands are 6 ton! If I'm going to be under it, I want to sway the scales in my favor.

I just bought this one last week from Harbor Freight $79.99. Very light Weight & low profile. I love it. I can get the car on 4 jack stands with no "wrangling" or any other equipment.

I just bought the Costco jack for $99 on Friday to change out my track wheels/tires on my 993 and am very satisfied.

I have been wanting to buy one of the Sears Craftsman jacks but I hear they suck. They last for about a month then start to leak.

I was looking at the Torin stuff at northerntool.com.

I guess it's time to join Costco. Not much need for the 5 gallons of mayo though.

I started out with the harbour freight jack, used it a few times over a year period, and it leaked. That, and it always seemed less than stable. I borrowed a friends AC at a track event, and loved it. I bought one 4 years ago, and it has been the best jack I've ever used. I liked it so much, I bought their stands, and they are the best I've seen as well. My only complaint is the weight of the Dk20; at some point, I may get an aluminum, and keep the AC at home. The one CDOC seems to be really high quality for the price. Anyone tried these?
