Who makes a good hydraulic floor jack now a days? I have a craftsman 4 ton right now and its about to take a dump. I was just wondering who makes a decent jack that will last more then a few yrs at a reasonable price.

nobody. seems they all suck lately. i buy the craftsman aluminum ones, they arent the best, but i always have to carry it around, and lighter is nice.

if you can, get ahold of a snapon jack  ;D its a tad on the heavier side but itll take whatever you can throw at it
if you can still see the color, you ain't muddin'
the joy of proving people wrong when they say you cant, will never get old

I got a big red 3.5 ton from sams club for 80 bux... sounds cheesy i know but i beat the hell out pf it and it takes it good. Or find an old snap on YA 700 jack... they last forever.

They said buy something you can afford... so i bought a FORD

x2 Ive had one for 5 years now and no problems yet, I use it almost everyday :)  never had to add fluid and no leaks knock on wood  lol
and yes the tend to drop hard but mine has been used a lot and I can drop it smooth as butter.


I also got a jack that was my grandpas idk the brand  but its old as hell  but its by far one the best jacks Ive ever used... they dont make stuff like used to :(

I couldn't tell ya the brand off the top of my head but I bought a 3 ton from carquest back in 1996 for my stepdad (really it was for me) still works pretty good,
Hopefully Hell has a Mudpit!!!
