How the picks are scored
Each jack is scored on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on the How We Pick page. No pick here states a certification, so no pick earns safety points; no pick states a warranty term, so no pick earns warranty points.
| Product | Shop Score | Perf. /35 | Build /25 | Value /25 | Safety /10 | Warranty /5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PM PERFORMOTOR Combo | 9.6 | 30 | 21 | 20 | n/a | 0 |

| AAIN AA51G Jack | 9.5 | 27 | 20 | 19 | n/a | 0 |
Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Safety counts only for powered gear or where the listing states safety features; where it does not apply, the score is taken over the remaining 90 points.

Buying guide: the best floor jack for home garage
Capacity and vehicle fit
Every pick here is a 2 ton (4,000 lb) jack. That capacity suits most cars, and the PM combo listing covers small cars, SUVs and light duty trucks. The DNA combo listing notes it is not for pickups, trucks or big SUVs, while the AAIN listing notes it is not for lifted trucks or heavy-duty vehicles. Check the vehicle weight against the jack capacity before lifting.
Lift range and low cars
Low-profile jacks fit under low cars. The AAIN jack starts at 5-1/8 inches, the PM and DNA combos start at 5.1 inches, and the DNA solo jack starts at 5.12 inches. All 4 top out at 13 inches. Stands on the combos adjust from 11 to 17 inches, so the support height is separate from the lift height.
Jack stands and support
A jack lifts; stands hold. Never get under a vehicle on a jack alone: lower the car onto rated stands on solid, level ground, and use the lift points in the owner’s manual. The combos include 2 ratchet stands each, with a multi-position ratchet bar and a locking lever design. The solo jacks need separate stands.
Casters and moving the jack
Casters decide how the jack moves under the car. The PM combo has large steel casters and swivel casters, the DNA combo has large steel casters and swivel casters, and the AAIN jack has 2 steel fixed wheels and 2 360-degree swivel casters. The DNA solo jack has swivel casters. Roll the jack into place before pumping, not while loaded.
Overload protection
Each listing names an overload valve or release valve that stops lifting past capacity. The DNA combo and PM combo list an integrated overload protection valve, the AAIN jack lists an integrated safety overload valve, and the DNA solo jack lists a safety release valve. A valve is a backup, not a reason to exceed capacity.
A jack is for lifting, not holding. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack: set it on rated jack stands, on solid, level ground, at the manufacturer's lift points, chock the wheels, and give the car a firm shake before you go under. Read our Safety Disclaimer.
Garage Fit Check
- Measure the lowest point under the car: the picks start at 5-1/8 inches, 5.1 inches and 5.12 inches.
- Check the top height: all 4 jacks top out at 13 inches, and combo stands adjust from 11 to 17 inches.
- Check the space: the AAIN jack measures 18.54 by 8.86 by 6.1 inches, so it stores in a small footprint.
- Check support: combos include 2 stands each; solo jacks need separate rated stands on solid, level ground.
- Check the vehicle: the DNA combo is not for pickups, trucks or big SUVs.
