Precise1 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 That'll do just fine for most things. Same size jack I've been using for 20 years... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 ^^ Whatever! I have some 6ton Harbor Freight jacks(4) stands and a Craftsman 3ton floor jack. Overkill? yeah maybe, but at least I know that this beast will not come down on me due to underrated lift/support equipment Mr P, check Schucks, for something like that shown above.

GrimGreg Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I have the same jack (but with Craftsman's name badge), it won't even reach the frame on my Pathys. I picked up a 3 ton in a nice set and it has a max height of about 2', it can barely get the wheels off the ground by jacking on the frame, but at least it CAN get them clear. I only use the little guy on little cars, it is 1" shorter at it's lowest and can fit under cars better. BTW is there any way to refill the little ones? I think mine has an air bubble in it or something. I only get lift with like the last 1/2" on the stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
