I've got a Sears Craftsman "4 Ton Low Profile Service Jack" that after very limited use over the past several years will now "Professionally" dump hydraulic fluid all over the concrete. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
Checking their website for an image (link), I now see review after review about it doing this to countless other My question is, what should I have bought? What will provide years of lifting and lowering, and scoot under my p-cars, without drama or hassle? Thanks. |

Looking at the price, and the manufacturers site, I cannot find anything (easily) regarding a warrantee.
Seems like a warrantee should be on the site somewhere.. |
