If you want proven quality and the ability to actually have it repaired if ever needed get a Napa jack.

See my post in the tools forum here "Warning, Sears jacks blow!"

Two of the best jacks I ever got are the blue ones from SAMs.


We leave those ******* outside and they have lasted for years. Minus one wheel breaking.

Better than the broken *** alum snap on that sits inside the shop.

I have the black Torin low profile jack from Northern tools. It's been a good jack for the last 3 yrs.

I've had a Black Craftsman 5 ton for over 12yrs, it leaks a bit but it gives great service. Got a blue 1.5 ton 'nascar' low profile that is a POS. I use it to get the car high enough to ge the big jack under.
