Re: [MBZ] Jack - Good Deal?

Jon, The Craftsman jacks actually don't have the best reputation. Look at the reviews. They are prone to leaks. I would consider a Harbor Freight aluminum 2 or 2.5 ton or a Harbor Freight low profile steel jack. The Costco Arcan jacks are also considered good. If you want to splurge you can

I have a 3 ton Crapsman floor jack that was great until about 2-3 years ago (it's probably 10 years old). It doesn't leak externally, but it does leak down in a matter of a minute or two if it's under load. It also takes a lot of effort and pumping to get it to raise under a load. I suspect

The cheap Chinese jacks leak because the rubber o rings fail. The high quality American or European made jacks use leather seals that last much longer. You get what you pay for. That being said I have a couple of Chinese jacks made by Larin that I bought about 15 yrs ago at BJs and they aren't
