Need recommendations for floor jack

[celwin]

I need recommendations for a good hydraulic floor jack (2 ton capacity). Build quality has to be taken into account. I do not want something that will leak on me in 2 years. Thanks in advance.

See if you can find a used Hein Warner. AFAIK they don't make them new anymore, but with a $150 rebuild they're like new. They are excellent quality and will last forever. And generally if properly rebuilt they will last 5-10 years before leaking. Also, they're very long and low profile so they'll fit under most lowered Celica's.

To find one you might try contacting Jack X Change, I know they offer rebuild kits for them. They also sell many other jacks, but I don't know the quality of the various brands.

If all else fails, I've been pretty happy with my Craftsman jack. I don't like the "speed lift" feature though. It's designed to bring the jack all the way up to the frame in one pump, which it does. However, it then takes 20 more pumps before it actually moves. :( Just buy the model without the "speed lift".

After looking over the Jack X Change site, the Norco 2 1/4 ton jack doesn't look bad.

Huh....unless you are going to join a NASCAR team soon....the $20 on sale Sears Craftsman floor jack does just fine. Even comes with a carrying case....with is very nice to cart to autoxs.

Here, Here. As a Sears Salesman, I also recomend the Craftsman. We usually have sales where you get jack stands free.
