    Default Looking for good floor jack and torque wrench

    REASON IS THAT DEALER SUCKS AT TIRE ROTATIONS AND OVERTORQUES LUGS AND NO WRENCH.
    COULD GO TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO BE DONE RIGHT FOR FREE, but will take an hour of waiting.

    Trying to keep cost down for decent one, I know Michelin floor jack from SAMS was good, but they don't sell it anymore.

    Harbor Freight has torque wrenches for $20. It's good enough for doing your wheels. I too re-torque the lug nuts any time the wheels have been off at a
    shop.

    As you probably already know Sam's and Costco have killer deals on jacks.

    I got an awesome 3 ton aluminum floor jack from Costco for about $175. I think. It is great. Lifts the DCab Tundra with no problems and it is pretty light. MUCH better then the aluminum Harbor Freight one I tried using. I had no luck with the ton and a half ones I bought. They would not lift the truck.

    I got a 1/2" drive torque wrench on sale at Harbor Freight! $10

    I need a new jack, I originally bought a aluminum one at Harbor Freight, but its the small one with low profile, for my Honda Civic. Although, it does the job to get the tundra off the ground, if I do one corner at a time.

    3 ton floor jack with wide base from Harbor freight. Bought one when it was on sale for $59.99. Works great to lift either end from the center of the axle. For on the road trips, hi-lift or hydraulic bottle jack works great.

    Harbor Fright torque wrenches are good stuff out of the box. I have one of each & have tested a half dozen of the 200 ft-lb models & they all tested within the 4% tolerance for click type wrenches. These are knock offs of older design Proto torque wrenches.

    Skip the chinese jacks & get something that will last:

    I paid about $250 for the 2 ton nylon wheel model.
    They aren't that much more money & are rebuildable, unlike much of the crap the world tries to pass off as jacks.

    Read the reviews for the crapsman aluminum jack if you don't believe me...been there, done that. My one star review is in there, somewhere.
    Craftsman 4000 lb. Capacity Aluminum Jack - Model 50239 at Sears.com

    BTW, read the box, these jacks have a 90 day warranty, not lifetime like craftsman hand tools.

    Good luck.
