Craftsman Jacks
A few years ago I picked up a couple of Craftsman 2 1/2 ton jacks that were on sale for $27.00 each so I had to get two of them..It's been 2 years and they worked great ever since for my F-150. I changed the oil as needed and I have been pleased ever since..I also have a 5 ton jack just incase I need to lift anything thats over 2 tons..
Just thought those of you looking for a better and safer jack to use than the one Ford gives you.Not knocking Ford because I love Ford I just hate those jacks they give ya lol..
Well just trying to help ya'll out...

I have a 3 ton that I have had for a couple years now. Always gets the job done but it now has an annoying fluid leak. I'll have to look into this later. Maybe I just over filled it.

I got 2 jackstand with my 2 1/2 ton jack and they are under warrenty with the Craftsman jack to.....lifetime warranty. They work great.
Yea those fluid leaks suck bad, I try to not overfill mine to much,sometimes I lose those rubber caps and that sucks bad....I have had to buy one cap that I lost..but all in all I love my Craftsman jack alot, just wish I could teach my wife to use it so she won't call me when she is 100 miles away to come fix a flat for her...lol

Dumb question: are you guys talking about bottle jacks or trolley jacks? I carry a no-name bottle jack in my truck, and it's gotten me out of trouble plenty of times, but I'm thinking that a trolley jack would be more comfortable and safer for use at home.

Are the Craftsman jacks made in the USA? I'll go by Sears tonight and take a look at them; probably the best I can hope for is "made in Taiwan" instead of "made in China by slave labour".

I think they are but don't hold me to it...
I would have to go look at my jack stands and my jack to see
It sure has been a great jack..2 and 1/4 tons is all you need for a F-150..I think you will be pleased with it....
hope you get a good deal
