I am looking for a floor jack that is as light as possible because of my bad back and that I will have to carry it between my cellar and the street, but it should lift high enough to get the back wheels of my 2016 CR-V off the ground when I lift it by the rear tow hook.
NAPA has a 1.5 ton that weighs 28.66 Lb there part no BK7761006 and it can lift up to 19.5 inches. Does anyone know of one that weighs less than that, but can still lift as high or higher?
My back can handle 30 Lb on a good day, but the lighter the better, and on a bad day forget about anything that heavy. Unfortunately the lighter ones that NAPA has do not raise high enough. The more something weighs, the greater the chance that it will aggravate my back from lifting it. So I will gladly pay more for something lighter.
A 1.5 Ton lifting ability is enough for a CR-V especially considering I will only be using it to lift about 1/2 the vehicles weight at any place I put it, and of course I will only be using it long enough to get the jack-stands under it, and to remove them when done.
A lot of the videos I see regarding working on a CR-V show people using 3 ton floor jacks, and they weigh a lot more than what I am looking for. I guess that is because those have a high enough lift.
The CR-V has 6.7 inches of ground clearance, so I really do not need a floor jack with low clearance. Also, I would like the width of the wheels to be as wide as possible so it is stable when lifted high.
So, does anyone have any recommendations of a light weight floor jack with high lift?

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas, and stays safe.
May your next year be a lot better than this one.
