I'm finding so many things are not brand specific any longer. One company can make jacks with 8 different labels. You can bet GM has nothing to do with that ACDelco set in the photo unless it's a royalty payment. I have been fond of the small 2 ton floor jacks for a while, have one that suffered a roll over and is bent but still works that is maybe 20 or more years old. I bought a new one about two years ago and included it in built in shelving where the back seat was in my 06 F150. I needed a nearly 2ft long 3/8" drive extension to raise & lower the spare tire and a place to carry it. It took a couple tries but I got it all riding quietly.

All floor jacks are rebuildable for the most part. As long as the internal walls of the jack are not worn you can get away with replacing seals if you know how to size them up to new seals. My buddy's dad had his floor jack for ages and just keeps rebuilding it whenever needed. I've rebuilt many hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders over the years with just seals and they still work to this day being used 24-7 on CNC machines. Most likely I will try to rebuild my harbor freight one when the time comes. Served me well so far.

Back in early 90's got a floor jack it was a 2.5 ton as that's all they had back then at Costco. It worked great a for many yrs until I sold it. But was a little hard trying to lift the whole rear of my truck with the c/o camper on it that was always load with camping gear & stuff. I think it was an Allied made in China was I remember was on the box..

I have an old Snap-On service jack that I bought in the 80's. I believe back then they were made by Lincoln-Walker in the U.S.
It's been rebuilt once. Blackhawk still sells the rebuild kits for the old jacks.

Who makes the new ones? They're under the Blue Point name so it's not Snap-On who makes them.

I'm pretty sure they're Chinese.

Wouldn't doubt it. Anything Blue Point is rebranded. Like my tube bender. Blue Point price is $40. Home Depot price is $17. Hmm... guess which one I bought!

Back in the late 70's I stopped at a jack repair place and talked to the owner who showed me all the Chinese, Japan stuff waiting for repairs and he suggested I avoid all of them and buy a USA built one. I ended up buying a Hein Werner, not cheap but has worked flawlessly all these years and is still going...

Yowza, $500 for a 3ton jack. But, I suppose after buying the junk for $150 and hating every minute of it..........it IS worth it.
I'd still like to test drive one before spending the money. I want to feel the action and see how it performs.
