I paid 100.00 for my 3.25ton jack. Sucker is heavy and the last time I used it I had the ball of the hitch dug into the ground. Still lifted the ole 7.3 up just fine lol. Got a lil heavy at the end though lol.

had mine for about 6 years so far, BUT replaced all the chinese rubber O rings down at Home despot. Only thing that I have that will pick up the front end of the diesel or the wheels on the toy hauler.
BTW mine was $39 on sale

How many O-rings in that jack did you replace? Do you have a diagram to take it apart for O-ring replacement?
Mine is only six months old and used twice. I'd love to know how to do that in case it fails.
I previously had a Sears 2-ton jack. I hardly used it about two dozen times in the five years I owned it. The jack broke....likely O-ring failure. I called Sears and was told to buy a new one at full price. They neither serviced it nor did they have warranty for it. No more Sears for me and my family after that. I will not even step inside that store again.

I bought a 12 ton bottle jack at HF for $20. Should be ample for the job.

Yeah, thats true. Even a 6 would be fine. I got the 20 for jacking up my house. Its really slow going up but takes no effort at all.
