Floor Jacks
Who sells really good floor jacks. My son bought one at sears that lasted about one year. I have a Walker jack. It is 4 feed long, and the handle is 3 feet 6 inches long. It can lift the front of the truck. I have used it for 30 years, and it is still working. He wants it. NOT

Re: Floor Jacks
Might also consider finding a used Hein-Warner
of the right size and rebuild it. VERY good jacks and will last him forever. |

Re: Floor Jacks
I have a two ton Snap On floor jack that i bought off the truck back in 1986. I think at the time they were actually made by blackhawk. Never once has it let me down (unless I turned the knob) And I have never had to do any maintenance to it. Seems to me it was on the expensive side, in fact I think I just paid it off. Looking at the cost of it over 25 years though I think i did right..

Re: Floor Jacks
I bought a blue monster (cornwell) jack off the truck when we opened the shop back in 2007. Thing has been to hell and back and still works like the day we bought it. I'm thinking I paid about 200 for it back then and I think it is a 3 ton.
I got some used AC Delco floor jacks about a year ago, they are all 2.5 ton. Two of them still work properly but one of them will leak off after about 3 hours or so. We only use it for "right now and done" stuff.
