[Spridgets] Floor Jacks

[uniquelittlecars at yahoo.com]

In time i think they all leak. The problem i have seen is the rubber O seal wears out most of the time. My jack even came with extras. This depends on how much you use the jack i guess. I have replaced parts in mine and had good luck. I am not sure how long they last. My jack is not from Sears or Harbor - I won my in a raffle from Snap-on. I am not sure what brand. I remember seeing the price in the Snap-on catalog and thinking i would never pay that for a jack. When i look at other jacks i can see the diffference in the quality and finish. In the end they all work pretty much the same.

  Sounds like Sears sells cheaper made crap than Harbor Freight!! I've had
mine for two years now, and it still isn't leaking. I've used it to lift
anything from the Sprite, to a friends 3/4 ton Camper/Van.
