Sounds like the HF jacks are worth having. The big question for me now is if
it'll fit under the Jetta. The on sale one is 5" minimum. I may need the low
clearance. The aluminum one is 30# less than steel, 2 tons gives a good safety
factor, I'll never be lifting the whole Jetta, can't even lift a whole end,
theres nowhere to put the jack...
Guess I'll wait for the Aluminum one to go on sale.

I have a three ton HF steel jack that started leaking about a year after I
bought it.
I also have a HF 2 ton aluminum racing jack which works perfectly and is easy
to move around. I would strongly recommend that one.
