Jacks: Stay away from cheapie jacks, they WILL leak eventually.
Had a Sears
and a Sams Club jack, both of which lasted about a year or so,
but failed
with a pool of hydralic fluid on the floor,when I really needed
them.

They will do that if you've used them in the cold and then bring
them into a warm building.  Somehow they suck air in as they get
cold, and as the air warms it forces fluid out.  I had that
happen to a "Cheapie" jack.  The repair amounts to nothing tnan
removing the fill bung and replacing the lost fluid.

I guess I am just cheap.  Or a conservationist of this worlds
limited resources.
