Sunex Steel Service Jack 6602LP

A jack that cannot slide under a low-clearance car is little help when you need access to a lift point. The Sunex 6602LP is designed with a 2.75-inch minimum height to get under low vehicles.

Its maximum height is 24 inches, giving it a broader lifting range than a jack intended only for low-slung cars.

The key buying question is whether that range and the jack’s 2-ton capacity match your vehicle and the jobs you have in mind.

How to use it

The low-profile design runs throughout the chassis, which is intended to let the jack reach farther beneath a vehicle and beyond pinch welds. That may be useful when the approved lifting point sits further inboard than the edge of the car. For example, if a sports car’s clearance is the main obstacle, the 2.75-inch minimum height gives you a specific figure to compare with the available space before choosing a jack.

The stated 18-inch throw is designed to reach lift points under the vehicle. Rapid-rise technology uses dual pump pistons and, according to the manufacturer, reaches maximum height in 6.5 pumps. That quick rise is a convenience feature, it does not replace checking your vehicle’s lifting instructions or confirming that a 2-ton jack is suitable for the intended load.

Pros

• The 2.75-inch minimum height is the standout feature for sports cars, exotic cars and flat tyres where ground clearance can make access difficult.
• A 24-inch maximum height offers more lift range, with the product description also naming pick-ups and SUVs as intended uses.
• The low profile continues along the chassis, rather than applying only at the front, and is meant to help the jack reach past pinch welds.
• Dual pump pistons are intended to reduce the number of pumps needed to reach full height.

It suits you if access under a low vehicle is the reason you are shopping, and you also want a jack with a stated 24-inch maximum height. Compared with a more basic, conventional jack that starts higher, this model puts low-clearance access first. A different jack with a higher minimum height may be a simpler choice if you do not need that access and have no clearance constraint.

My take

The low entry height is the clearest reason to choose this Sunex: it gives you a concrete starting point for comparing the jack with the clearance and lift points on your vehicle. Its 24-inch maximum height broadens the intended use beyond sports cars, but the listed 2-ton capacity remains a firm selection criterion. Better avoid it if your vehicle’s required lifting capacity exceeds that rating, or if its lifting points cannot be reached with this jack’s stated range. Also, a low-profile design alone does not confirm fit for every car, check the vehicle’s approved lift points and available clearance before buying.
