Recommendations for 'low-profile' trolley jack?

I put up a video of my costco jack a few months ago.

Pretty boring video but it gives you an idea of its performance.

You get under the car with just the jack holding it up?

Of course not! I have 4 SCA jack stands. But previously the stands could only go to the 2nd highest level, now it goes all the way to the top

I follow, higher jack = higher stands.

Must advise Arcan...additional benefit of their jack = ability to break dance beneath it.

Lol.
Peer pressure has cost me a couple of hundred but it will be great after the number of times I've needed a low profile jack.

I distribute these to those interested in Melbourne and have no complaints.
Got one for myself and works great.. Also looks great too!
Costco have bumped up their prices to $175.99 for the unit.
Might also advise that Costco do lifetime warranty as long as you're a member there. So it's somewhat worth getting a membership if you have a family and need things in bulk etc...
Anything goes wrong in the next few years and you're still a member you can return and get a new one.
Swapped a 4 year old jack for a new one.

Total Tools has one for $149. Advertised to go down to 85mm.

Is the total tools one the same as the cost co one?? Then I don't have to join cost co for a year.

I'm thinking of getting a better jack as mine slowly lets the car down when you leave it...

You need to top up the hydraulic jack oil.

No idea, no Costco anywhere near me to check and last time I searched, their online site is a crappy brochure site.
They also have one that looks similar to the Arcan one too and cheaper to boot:
