I've got a Sears Craftsman "4 Ton Low Profile Service Jack" that after very limited use over the past several years will now "Professionally" dump hydraulic fluid all over the concrete.

Checking their website for an image (link), I now see review after review about it doing this to countless other My question is, what should I have bought? What will provide years of lifting and lowering, and scoot under my p-cars, without drama or hassle? Thanks. |

Figured I would resurrect this old thread since I just busted myself in the head with a 4' piece of aluminum pipe while trying to disassemble the plunger assy on my (off brand) low-profile aluminum jack. Since my thumb is now bleeding and I really don't know what replaceable parts I'll actually find if I get this joker apart, I'm thinking my time would be better spent on the 914 itself and money better spent on a new jack.
I've got a steel Craftsman jack which will lift the corner of a car but immediately starts creaking and ticking it's way down to full compression. I want a jack that is easy to maneuver, low profile, and not too heavy to lug around if needed. So I'm following up to see if you guys that have HF jacks are still liking them and finding them to be good tool investments. If HF is still the favored supplier, which models do you guys like/dislike? |
