Floor Jack

[WAD357]

Over the past year and a half I've had a 3 ton aluminum craftsman professional floor jack that Ive had nothing but problems with. All I lift with it is my XJ and my mustang however Ive been through 3 of them all under warranty and my latest one has blown up. My question is what floor jack do you guys use and how does it hold up? Sears will give me my money back instead of replacing it again so Im going to go with something different. Kobalt seems to have a decent 3 ton for $125 with stands what do you guys think?

Those sales didnt come with 3 tons

[jeepbogger4x4]

true. i only bought it at the time cuz i didn't have one in ri and needed to change my axle ujoints. and it was cheap. the 3 ton i have back home i think my dad got at home depot and it's lasted about 2 years so far. can't remember the brand tho

[hippie metal]

yea those autozone jack last forever...unlike everything else in that store

My Craftsman 4 ton 2 stage is also a piece of shit, but they would not do anything warranty wise. My friend has had similar luck with his Craftsman.

I have my brothers Matco Jack now, pretty nice

Napa steel jack... Heavy but durable... It's at least 8 years old and the only thing wrong with it is the spring for the handle broke. Works fine still though. I treat it like shit too... Leave it out in the rain and whatnot

seems like the old or shitty jacks work best lol... alot of people I know have jacks that are older than me and work like new..... I'm going to look into the napa jacks though.

we use napa floor jacks at work and they get used daily for years now and beside's the occasional greasing they work great, they are heavy though, no aluminum in these bad boys we also have a 22 ton air jack, its the shit

[WAD357]

you guys got me thinkin about droppin another $350 on a jack lol.... the more I think about it the more I'm thinkin try the kobalt shit.... my buddy is a lowes manager so if i break it he will warranty anything for me, so i think im going to go that route
