    Probably either a close out to make room for a redesign, or they're hoping to get people to come into the store and buy more stuff while they're there. Either way, not a bad price.

    Out of stock online and the nearest store I could pick it up at is almost 40 miles out ... not worth wasting 2 hours and 15 bucks in gas.

    No it doesn't ... it would take roughly 40 minutes each way with traffic (it's 40 miles one way) + the time to go inside the store and get it ... I'd say an hour and a half at the very least. It's just not worth it to me. If the store right by my work had it, then yes, by all means I would buy.

    Save your money, this jack is on the small side.

    If you spend about $100, you can get a decent large jack and some quality stands. And as always, ALWAYS lower the car onto jack stands or other forms of support before getting underneath it.

    Not so much a signature as a cry for help.

    Hold on, saw this in a cartoon once...think I can pull it off.
