Aye...............

I haven't even begun to think about it. I always wait until the last minute. Procrastination is the key to my method.

I hate my 2-1/4 ton Sears jack. I actually just got a full size 3 ton from Harbor Freight last week. Still need to take it out of the box.

 

Why do you hate the jack?


I have had two of the type of jacks I hated.

 

It's weak
Has a limited amount of lift
Small footprint (sinks into ground)
Small jack point (need to use wood blocking between jack and rear)

I work on the ground in my backyard most of the time so my needs are a little different then many others. I hate using blocking to jack up my rear. It just doesn't feel as safe as using the larger surface area the head of the 3 ton provides without any blocking. A full size jack fits right over the rear just perfectly by itself.

 

Peer pressure go the best of me

 

Reasonable for sure.

I had an inexpensive one that started to leak after about 10 years then another inexpensive one that was a PITA to work.

My current craftsman jack did not have the secure support platform I wanted but a hockey puck took care of that. The hockey puck is the part that touches the vehicle.

 

Good idea! I like that better then the wood I have been using. That stuffs slippery
