Default RE: Floor Jack Why the hell so $$$$

heheh, i bought a POS jack. $30 from walmart. It leaks a little oil, and will slowly settle if you leave a load on it, but oil is easy to replace, and you're not supposed to be leaving weight on the jack anyway.

You get what you pay for, you want nice stuff, its gonna cost money.

I got my 3 ton jack from Sears, its craftsman of course, and it hasn't given me any problems in the last 3 years i've had it. I believe it costs $150 at Sears, could have gone up though.
