The aluminum jacks any good??

[Car Luver]

Have a steel 2 ton hydraulic jack for years. heavier than heck. getting old so want to replace it with a new fangled aluminum jack. questions for those in the know.

Are they strong as steel ones?

seem to be well made?

I have seen the ones with the big roller in front and a conventional one with 4 wheels.

Which one is better?

Thanks

I have 1.5 ton aluminum Sears Craftsmen jack that has done well so far..

just as good as the steel and the single big roller I have heard is easier to move around to get under the vehicle.

I prefer the aluminum over steel. JMO.
