What is the difference between a Hydraulic Jack and a Floor Jack? Why does the Floor Jack cost more?
Q. I am looking to get a jack for my car to do my own tire rotations. I already own Jack stands, but the Jack that is with the car isn't very good. I would like to get a Jack that is easier to use. I see hydraulic jacks are a lot cheaper than floor jacks. I was wondering what the pro's and con's are for each jack and if the floor jack is worth the additional money. Thanks.

A. Hydraulic jack is the kind of jack using a fluid to hydraulicaaly lift. Some are in the shape of a bottle (cheeper) that you would have to put under the axle to lift your car. The floor jack you can slide under from the side or back, making it a lot safer. There are several brands some of both are cheep for light duty use as yours.
