POS Craftsman Floor Jack
I have a 1.5 Ton Aluminum/Steel Craftsman floor jack. When I was working on the 951, I heard a "plesh" noise as the hydraulic cylinder gave way and spewed fluid all over the floor. The U joint for the hydraulic release was also chewed up.
I took it back to Sears. Apparently, they only warrant them for 1 year. Kinda pissed me off as I paid close to $200 for the POS.
I'm not buying another Craftsman jack. I will accept a free replacement, but I'm not buying another one.
So...I guess I'm in the market for a new floor jack. My requirements:
-It lasts at least 10 years.
-Must be no taller than 3.5 inches in the "down" position.
-I'd prefer a "racing jack" style with a long handle that can also be used to lower the jack.
Recommendations?
