re : HELP! I HAVE A CHEAPO FLOOR JACK!!

[William Elliott <wcelliot@concentric.net>]

Just a couple of generalizations.

The best jack I ever used was a Snap-On 2.5 ton.
Cost $350.

My current jack is a Prolift 2.5 ton from Walmart. Cost
$69.  2.5 yrs old, still every bit as good as the Snap-On.

My jack before that was a 2.25 ton from Advance Auto.
$129.  Lasted one day.

The 2.5 versions which release by turning the handle 
seem to be of a much higher quality than the 2.25's
(which generally have a seperate valve to lower).

Aybody with similar observations?
