Amici All,
My Sears jack lasted two months before is started to leak, this was about 6=
years ago. Sears sells no repair parts to fix their jacks ( at that time =
) only offered a replacement pump at a cost higher than a new jack on the =
shelf in the store. Went to a repair shop that rebuilds, repairs jacks and=
pumps and was told to scrap it as they are not rebuild-able. =20
Was given a 1 1/4 ton Aluminum jack from Harbor Freight 2 years ago, no pro=
blems other than it doesnt lift very high. Have to use blocks to work on t=
he tow van. As for the Crapsman Tools ... very sad they went to China. Ne=
w tools break all the time, not so stuff they made 20 plus years ago. Alwa=
ys felt they could of charged twice as much, keep the quality a finish up a=
nd they would still be cheaper than the high line tools sold off the trucks=
.
Sad to say even the Kobalt Tool at Lowes are now made in China and prone to=
breakage, Snap-On sold this line of tools off.
Just an observation,
Bob T.

I, too, have a couple of really nice Craftsman floor jacks which are all I =
use around the shop. The bigger one weighs 95 pounds and is just too unwie=

be my only jack at the track). I recently bought a Harbor Freight (Horrib=

I have (and use) jack stands just in case it decides to become unreliable w=
hile I am underneath the car. If it lasts 10 years before it goes south, I=
=E2=80=99ll be satisfied with that.

I still have my Sears floor jack I bought 35 years ago. However, it's way =
too heavy to take on racing weekends and I don't even use it much in the ga=
