We have a crapsman floor jack at work for moving equipment, and it is
a complete POS killer. I don't trust it with anything, and I sure
would never jack up a car with it. It goes up ok, but when you try
to let things down, it just crashes down. When we are moving equip
that needs a jack, I bring mine in from home. I don't want to get
someone injured or worse using the crapsman.
I have a taiwanese farm store jack that is almost 20 years old, and
one from HF (chinee) that is under 10 years old, and they are
virtually identical. Both have relatively high lift, are heavy and
are built for shop service. Unfortunately HF does not sell this jack
anymore. But I would trust a HF jack more than a crapsman. Snears
just sells too much overpriced junk
If you catch the sales, you can get a creeper, jackstands and a jack
for $100 at HF.
Is this a good deal?

Yes I know it's not Milwaukee, but I don't have the extra $$$ laying around.
