Makes you wonder how they arrived at that extra 1/4 ton.
Marketing? We're just a little better than the competition?
Or maybe it was a 3 ton and someone looked at it and said, eh... maybe not...
My Hi Lift jack is a central machinery model. Had it twenty plus years and used it countless times. In fact we needed a second jack...so I bought a made in the USA actual Hi Lift and it's been nothing but a PIA...took it apart the other day and discovered one of the pin springs was broken and replaced it. Works great now. My friend bought a newer Badlands model and it keeps popping the up down lever.
I have four or five jacks I need to fix.

Stop breaking shit or get better at fixing things!!
An older dude, in a dog walking group, told me that his AC guy has been fixing his unit for 20 years. I said, "Why don't you tell him to do it right, so he doesn't have to keep coming back." lol his friends liked that one.
