sears floor jack, craftsman
Craftman JACK SUCKS. I bought one of those craftman jacks that only takes like 3 pulls up and down and its up. yea ****** quick working like 2 month later and they dont warranty them. ****** 250.00 waste
I have the 2 1/4 ton craftsman set....set comes with jack and two stands.
works good for my needs on my ws6 and 2500hd.
just remember....the jack....is just a jack....don't keep things lifted for long periods....use the stands....it's safer for you and your jack !

Low profile and long reach are always good

i got a 3 ton craftsman floor jack on clearance for about 30 bucks. It must tip the scales at 60lbs, but it works like a charm. After having a notherntool jack racing jack fail on me after 6 months, I went with the age old axiom that bigger is better. It's working out great so far, after about 1 year of use.

I have a craftsman 4 ton jack and I like it. I've had it for a couple of years and use it all the time. I have a set of their 3 or 4 ton jack stands (can't remember right now) I didn't pay much for the jack or stands and they have worked out great.
There have been threads about the jacks being junk but mine has been great. Maybe they had a different modle than I do

The craftsman aluminum jack is no good I have gone through 3 of them and I figured it was time to give up. I went with the one from harbor freight. works great and a friend has had one for ever.
i have the craftsman 1.5 ton aluminum jack like davered's. lasted me 1yr 3mo and then blew the seal. loved it while it worked... but i'm 2nd guessing buying another one.
Good move....(not buying one of course)
My steel craftsman jack sucks....hasnt taken a dump yet but I just hate using it. You have to crank a ridiculous amount of pressure on the shut off valve to get it to lift....then it takes for ever to get any appreciable height. Its the only tool I leave outside just to save some room in my shop....I keep hoping someone will steal it....LOL
I have two other jacks that work well, (one a long super low profile version thats great for my lowered C5), but when you start doing driveline work its amazing how many jacks you need to get it done if your not working on a lift of course. Removing the rear cradle and the trans/rear/torque tube set-up is the only reason I keep the POS Craftsman around.

yeah, my craftsman jack blew a seal while i was lifting the car.. that really made life difficult
Note to self.. never buy the craftsman aluminum jack again. Only had it for 1 year.. and used it maybe 20 times..

Had our Craftsman blow and years and years of use, buddy had a newer one that lasted a few months. We both now have the steel Harbor Freight ones and love them, no issues at all and the one I have we have had for at least 2 years and use it all the time. Comes with a rummber pad mount and a regular one also. It lifts my BBC car like its nothing and a 4X4 Blazer.
Quality jack stands are a must. No cheap-o stuff.
