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 suckers customers. So alright, they got me - no receipt, bought it back in 2007 or 2008 so if they're screwing people with receipts from 366 days ago, I'm done.

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.
