Best and cheapest are 2 different items .... Brunnhoezl and pace make really good ones but their expensive . Harbor freight sells cheap ones but I wouldn't jack a go cart up with one

When I was helping Rich all we used was Craftsman, they aren't cheap but they last a long time and if anything goes wrong with it , they will replace it.. ;)

Mash the loud pedal.

Well I'm not buying a craftsman I'd rather buy that jegs for the same price. Craftsman only covers it for a year also

Some guy bought my dad a craftsman jack for helping to get his old car running ... It broke 3 times already. Used on a concrete floor

Had blue harbor freight jack since 2006. Paid $89 Still works perfectly. Always used on the car, took to races,and used in garage. Also used it to jack under the hitch while car is still on trailer to take pressure off the truck springs. That's well over the weight rating. Bought a craftsman and it worked for less then a year and all the seals blew out.

Yup I'm a dick!!!
