You bet, while the $20 1.5T jack at the discount house is awfully
appealling, they are a pain in the rear to use and position. I know I
have two of them. I recently purchase a 2T floor jack with 2 heavy duty
jack stands from Sears, on sale for $99. You rotate the fixed handle to
close and open the pump valve, and the longer handle makes it easier to
position.
