What is the best floor jack to buy?
I want to buy a floor jack under 150 bucks. Here, I have found a few list here https://theeffectiveguide.com/best-floor-jack/. This website is showing top when i search "best floor jack". They have a decent list and most of the jacks price under 150. That site all floor jacks are from amazon. But, After little bit more research I have found other 2 popular brand. One is Harbor Freight and other is Craftsman. Both price are affordable and I can easily get one under $150. Now, I need to know which brand floor jack is better? PowerZone from amazon, Herbor freight or Craftsman?

I had pretty good luck with a HF floor jack. It lasted over ten years of me dragging it to the track and using it in my home garage. Of course they're made in China and the quality may or may not be as good as what I got 15 years ago. I'm sure the Craftsman jack is made in China too. Either one should be ok, but don't expect it to last forever and if you ever need parts to repair it you probably can't get any.

I use the Pittsburg 2 ton/low profile "racing" jack from HF with Jackpoint jackstands.

Understanding that Jackpoint stands are popular with the 911 crowd, it's important to note that not every jack works with them. I don't have a comprehensive list, but I can say for certain that this one does.
