Floor jack
 
Who has a good quality floor jack and where did you get it locally? I've had about 4 and all have been trash. Looks like it's time to spend a few hundred and be done with it.

Napa or sears

Looking for one that will last, I've had NAPA, sears, harbor freight, they're all pretty much the same and suck. Looking for something like in the link, just trying to avoid the shipping on something that is 100+ lbs.

Lol ok.....I've had this 3 ton jack from napa over ten years and it still work and a craftsman one from sears for 3 years not a problem.

My craftsmen one works fine, just have to drive on ramps or lift one corner at a time. My low profile aluminum one started to leak down right after I got it, took it back and the new one did the same after a few months. Maybe I need to find a 10 year old jack, they seem to be built better.

My dad had floor jack that was 30 years old and crapped out last year. They just don't make some stuff like they used to.

I've had the 2 ton aluminum jack form HF for a couple of years now with no issues at all. I picked up the 1.5 ton to carry on road trips too.
