    Pretty much stock with some crap welded to it.
    they're good little jacks for the cost. id say go for it, sometimes they will let you throw the 20% off coupon with stuff to

    Yep. I got it. Works great. Only complaint is it's got one the lowest max lift height of all their models. 18 1/4"

    Not a huge issue but it can be annoying on lifted trucks.

    I've had that jack for a year, zero issues except for what CRU said. I put a block of wood between the jack and the frame, works fine.

    I too have the low pro one..there arounds the same price. I think the low pro one extends more too..I spent like 100 with that no questions asked return warranty. Pretty happy with it. It worked better then a craftsman one I had bought.

    Only draw back is that it's heavy as shit.but for a garage jack..worth it.
