New Floor Jack

[Mike_H]

As the title states, I need a new floor jack. This will be my third in 24 years of wrenching on shit. I thought the last one I got was a "good" one, but the seals started leaking and I'm tired of puddles all over my garage floor. I tried to replace them, but no dice. So...what do you all recommend. I'd like 3 ton capacity, rapid pump (though not necessary) and clearance isn't that big of deal (my lowest clearance vehicle is a Audi Q5 which has something like 8 inches ground clearance). Not afraid to spend money, but lets not get crazy either...

TIA

I’ve had a craftsman 3 ton for as long as I can remember. Never any issues and gets the job done.

I have a shitty orange one I bought out of necessity from a parts store for like 80 bucks 11 years ago and it is still cranking away. I guess if you use one all of the time and never want to buy one again buy a Walker(Made in USA), but if you want a disposable one that may or may not last buy a cheap parts store one.

This is not the floor jack I have, but mine looks very similar but is orange. I also only paid 80 bucks for it about 11 years ago at a local auto parts store, but it is going strong.

If you want a top of the line. I would buy a Walker.
