I’m genuinely impressed with this CAT 3-ton floor jack. You can tell the second you unbox it that it’s not one of those “lightweight, wobbly” jacks that makes you nervous the entire time you’re under a vehicle. This thing feels solid, heavy-duty, and built to last exactly what you want when safety matters. Performance wise, it lifts smoothly and consistently. The pump action feels strong and controlled, and it doesn’t feel like you’re fighting it to get the height you need. Once it’s under load, it stays stable and doesn’t shift around. The wide stance and sturdy construction give you that confidence that you’re not one bump away from a bad day. I also really like how it rolls and positions. Some jacks drag, twist, or feel awkward when you’re trying to line them up under a lift point this one moves into place easily and feels predictable. That’s a big deal if you’re working in a garage, driveway, or anywhere that isn’t perfectly smooth. The release/lowering is another highlight. It lowers in a controlled way instead of that sudden “drop” that cheaper jacks sometimes do. That smoother descent makes a huge difference for both safety and overall quality feel. The handle is comfortable, the controls are straightforward, and it just does what it’s supposed to do without any drama. I’ve used it for routine things like tire changes and maintenance, and it feels like it could handle much more. For a 3-ton rating, it’s a great fit for cars, SUVs, and light trucks and it feels like a jack you can keep for years instead of replacing every season. Bottom line: If you want a dependable, stable, heavy-duty floor jack that feels safe and performs smoothly, this CAT 3-ton is a great buy. It’s one of those tools you’re glad you spent money on because it actually delivers. Highly recommend.

Right out of the box-HEAVY. Hope this lives up to the CAT name. There is a small tray on it to place small items like lug nuts. It needs at least a 3.5 inch or better clearance to get the foot under the lift point. You only have about 8 inches before the lift starts getting taller. Two options for raising the jack, either a foot pedal or the handle. You have to use the handle to access the release mechanism.

They will rarely tell if you if this item is available in the store, you'll just have to go find out and look for yourself. This is an exceptional jack to own for the money. $180 you can't beat the price, an it feels extremely high quality. Just make sure the box is in good condition and I think you'll be golden.

Bought to replace an old Michelin Jack. This one made me realize how worn out the other one is. The low profile works well to get under the lawnmower to change blades. It also raises high enough to lift a 4x4 truck. The foot pedal is a nice addition. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Shopped around and this is a great value and quality for the price

The Caterpillar 3 ton low profile jack came with minimal assembly. The jack itself was assembled. Only the 2 piece handle needed be fitted together and put into the slot for operation. It easily lifted our automobile. With a twist on the handle, it gently sat it down. A lot easier than using OEM jack that came with the vehicle.

This low profile 3 ton CAT jack is awesome! Very heavy duty and really sturdy. You can tell it was made to be put to work constantly. The low profile design makes it great for lowered vehicles and works all the way up to heavy duty trucks. From the convenience of the foot pedal pump and the dual piston quick lift makes this jack well worthy and a good all arounder

This is a super heavy duty hydraulic jack. Very sturdy and lives up to the Caterpillar name. I would say the only thing that I didn't care for is the fact that have to have rod pushed down all the way to release the plug and lower the jack. However, that is a safety mechanism that most people will likely need. Overall really good product and would highly recommend.

Both my son, who is a professional mechanic, and I highly recommend the CAT low-profile hydraulic floor jack. Its heavy-duty construction, excellent stability, and efficient quick-lift system make it an incredibly convenient tool for a variety of tasks. We’ve tested it on everything from a Side-by-Side (SXS) and a sports sedan to a full-sized half-ton pickup, and it performs flawlessly on every vehicle type. I’ve attached a photo of the CAT jack next to another popular brand for a direct comparison.

This jack does not come completely assembled, you will need to attach the handle and the foot pump. Both of which are easy to install. The lift height is nice when raising a tall vehicle but being low profile allows this jack to slip under a car with not much clearance. If you are in a tight space the foot pump is a great to get the jack in place and then finish the lift with the handle. This jack would be a five star except for the weight of the jack.
