it reviews says it crap, is that true?
Would you recommend it or 3 1/2 AC Delco that I saw at Murrays or 3 1/2 Craftsman jack?

If you're going to spend money on a good jack, get about $150 together for an old Lincoln. They are rebuildable, and will last much longer than that one will.
Their basic design is still being made in the US, and a new one will set you back about $400, but money well spent.

I have had two of these, very reliable, and very stable.

Purchased a Lincoln some 20yrs. ago and still the most reliable. Had a Craftsman before that, it was a good jack in its day, however, not that excited about the quality of Craftsman tools any more. Purchased few power tools off Craigs list, what I usually do is contact the seller and get the model and manufacturer info then go online and see if replacement parts are still available, if not, then pass.

Bought several of the Michelin Jacks from Sam's. Only one had any issues. They have worked fine for my home use, but I do have access to an old Lincoln at the shop and the lifts if need be.
Still, at home, I don't have help, so unlike the real world shop experience, use Jackstands at home.

I bought that same Michelin jack from Sams a few times. My dad has one and then we picked one up for out at the shop and then I bought one for my house as well. I've been very happy with it.
