[s-cars] Speaking of Cheap Tools - how bad?

[Tom Green]

Merry Christmas shopping to all,
      I just got the Sams Club Christmas catalog this morning, listing a
Michelin floor jack, 3.5 ton with "speedy lift" reaches chassis faster.
  Includes magnetic parts tray and saddle pad. lift range 5 1/2 to 22".
$57.63.  Don't own enough Walmart stock to matter, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Tom
