I would spend more and get the fast pump model. I have 2 of them from Northern Tool and what a nice feature.

Got a link? How low can the car be for it to work?

Click on the link above and then scroll down.
When you raise the car and maybe put it on stands, and then put the jack back later to get it off the stands, then the quick pump feature is good. Or, when your other vehicle is something like a 4x4 F350 then the first foot of jacking is to get to the axle.
Soooooooooooo, anyway, my other vehicle is a 4x4 F350 and instead of 2 minutes of pumping it's 10 seconds to get to the goods.
I just purchased Griots Garage low profile jack. Got it for $319 with there 15% off special.
Spent a lot more than other jacks, but with a 2 1/4" height at it's lowest point and lifetime warranty, I won't be driving up on ramps or wood to get the jack under the Viper and I won't be buying a new jack every 3 or so years due to poor quality.
That other jack looks kind of like the Craftsman aluminum racing jack that I had which started leaking hydraulic fluid after about 2 years and no honor of their warranty.

Just got my new Griots Garage magazine offering 15% off on all car care cleaning products. Maybe you should call them and see when they will be having the 15% off on anything in the catalogue sale again. It can't hurt to mention that you know off someone that got that discount on the jack and you won't pull the trigger on it until it is offered. I just got some discounts on electronic equipment just by asking the sales person if there were any available.
Can't hurt to ask.
This jack is so awesome, I can get under any area of the Viper without driving up on ramps or pieces of wood. Real heavy duty built!
I'll never go with another brand! adg44

I have an Alcon one that I picked up from Costco for $99 about 4 years ago. It works great.
I think they have something similar now, although it is like $119 or more.
