Pittsburgh Automotive 3 Ton Heavy Duty Ultra Low Profile Steel Floor Jack with Rapid Pump Quick Lift

YES! This is heavy but heavy with a purpose... built to last. I'm tired of buying light weight, super slim, sissy tools etc. and being disappointed when they eventually fail like that Walmart floor jack I returned. This is made to keep your you know what safe and when I position it and start cranking, I feel VERY safe... just one look at it and you see the quality and care that went into it. It took 5 full pumps to max height... I don't need to go that high though. Some jacks creak when lifting or so I read for other jack brands... this thing makes NO sound and asks, "Is THAT all you got?". Solid construction with no leaks while pumping... the type of jack grandpa would have handed down to you. I look forward to years of use and teaching my son how to use it for car maintenance when he gets of age. Didn't take long to figure out how to roll it on concrete and it moves steadily and not super quick due to the weight... think cruise ship, not speed boat but not difficult. I highly recommend adding hydraulic fluid before use as the instructions suggest... it took almost 0.5 qt. (a half bottle). I thought I would never stop pouring. Rubber on handle protects not only low profile vehicles but my '07 Accord too. DO NOT use without jack stands and DO NOT skimp and get cheap jack stands. I highly recommend these for the construction/flat leg support... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JWVPJE?redirect=true&ref_=cfb_at_prodpg ... you may not need 4 tons but more is better. Now I can rotate my own tires without an appointment and waiting for 3-4 hours for something that used to take 30 minutes tops walk-in. This will make sure my tires wear evenly and save me money and time. Only thing I wish was that there was a faster way to get at the hole to fill it with fluid... you need a phillips screwdriver for the four screws for the protective plate but I guess you probably don't need to access this much. This does not detract at all from this beauty. I never do reviews but got this jack due to the positive reviews and had slight skepticism but I have none left. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps you decide what is best for you.

I looked at a number of floor jack manufacturers and many, many models before purchasing this particular model. This was by far the best jack for the money, and fits my needs. Some reviews mention leakage in the package or poor jack performance right out of the box. READ the instructions before posting a negative review. You should check the fluid level and BLEED the unit BEFORE use...Yes, there was a small amount of leakage in the package, but keep in mind that these are shipped several times before arriving at your destination. The manufacturer most probably under fills the hydraulic pump to allow for possible expansion of the hydraulic fluid in hot environments. A over full jack will seep some fluid.My unit was perhaps an ounce shy out of the box, but has worked excellent many times since purchase.

Have used this a handful of times now and I am pretty impressed. Lifts effortlessly and hold well.

Broke itself on its first job. Blew its fluid and components literally crumbled - see the pictures.It was shipped poorly in a taped / torn up box & was missing the screw which keeps the handle together. First thing I did was check the fluid level which was 3/4s low upon arrival.I wrote "USA Tools N More" telling them I am NOT planning on reshipping this 78 pound piece of crap back to them as a they're responsible for this major inconvenience. Got a thrown together "we're getting your RMA ready" email from them today.This isn't going to go well. Back luck on my part or not, I suggest you stay far away.

What's worse than coming home from a jobsite in the middle of the night and getting a flat tire on your truck? Having to change that tire with the factory jack. And this has happened to me twice within a year!After the last time it happened I decided I would no longer be at the mercy of the factory jack and I ordered this Pittsburgh 3 ton jack from Amazon. It came today and I'm very impressed. While I haven't had to use it yet I did go over it very thoroughly and it appears to be well made and in good working order. I'm going to keep it in my bed mounted toolbox along with some extra hydraulic fluid (it comes with hydraulic fluid already in it but it never hurts to be prepared).The only reason that it gets 4 stars as opposed to 5 is that it's heavy, though being heavy also implies quality so many people would probably add the star back just because of that. However, at over 70 pounds it can be a pain to get in and out of the toolbox. I guess the downside to being built like a tank is having to weigh the same as a tank. Oh well, I'm sure this jack is going to last me a long, long time.

I haven't owned the item very long, but I was able to easily "assemble" it and put it right to use on my truck. Only time shall tell as to how the hydraulics last, but as for right now, it works wonderfully.

I bought this for my suv but it doesn’t lift it up as high as I’d like it to. However, it definitely get the tires off the ground quickly!

When it means heavy duty it means it. Great quality and it is huge and be aware of the weight a heavy jack. But for the money can beat it.
