A few years ago I bought a craftmans 50240 aluminum low profile floor jack. Since my car is lowered (among other things) for Axing so I wanted something I could take with me to the events that would be able to lift the car at the donuts.
After 6 months the damn thing started leaking fluid. I was able to fix it by replacing the leaking O-ring. It seems every 4-6 months I need to replace this #$!@$#!!! O-ring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I have had enough, every time I want to use it it leaks and now one of the caster wheels has cracked and doesn't roll. I am not going to fix this POS anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) When I make my next run to the scrap yard it's going to meet its final destiny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I do have a nice heavy duty floor jack I can use for my other vehicals, but it doesn't go low enought to fit under the 914. So.................. Any recommendations on a good quality low profile floor jack? It would be nice if it was somewhat lite weight so I don't have to break back trying to lift in my truck. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
