I gave away my long, heavy bottle jack years ago. Carried a small floor
jack and finally sold it.
When I have a flat I call my 800 number and the guy in the truck comes
with a variety of jacks. Before this kind of service I had to jack the
original GMC up more times then I care to remember! This one is better
but I don't do jacking anymore and subsequently don't need to carry that
sucker.
My wife quickly replaced that weight with her genealogy records!
