Small 2 TON Floor Jack?

Does anyone have and use this floor jack? If so, how is it? It's under 20$ on Ebay. I plan on getting slicks, so I'll need to change my wheels at the track. Thanks!

Just make sure that it lifts high enough to get the rear wheels off the ground. Also, I guess it goes without saying that one would be foolish to get under the truck without jackstands with any jack, but especially a $20 one.

It looks like the jack I had and didn't like. I still have it, but bought a 3 ton jack at Sam's Club for $60.

The jack worked fine, but I didn't like the short handle. I have crawl under the truck and jack it up from underneath it. You also need to make sure it has a good 21" or 22" lift to get the wheels off the ground.

I saw one like togo pictured at a flea market for $75 once and wanted to get it, but I don't need 3 jacks.
