Does anyone have a Craftsman jack that is any good. All the aluminum jacks have poor reviews

Default I have their 2 1/4 ton as well as their 3 ton, which the latter doesn't fit under my A4.

I use the 2 1/4 ton + the block pictured to raise it up, put a jack stand under it, then put the 3 ton under to raise the car even farther for jobs that I want it on jack stands as high as they can go.

Default torque wrenchs too as well as those bolt-outs sockets. I cracked one that is good for air guns with

just a 1/2" ratchet and they wouldn't replace it.

they won't replace any of their tools that wear and put them in that "specialty tool" catagory.

Default Got mine on sale at Harbor Frieght - under $50 IIRC. No probs in 3 yrs.

Seals haven't started leaking yet (which I hear is the main problem with these.)
