I want a few things.
Id like to have a new jack that can jack up the car with 5 pumps, not the 4042504 pumps it takes now....
Id like to have a nice 3/8ths impact gun
Id like some stuff for the 87 and/or 72

But I would forgo the presents if the Cowboys can beat the Giants tonight, and go on to sweep the Playoffs and win the Super Bowl.
Its been so long since any of my teams have won the big game, but the Cowboys have returned to the brides maid of the NFC yet again. I just want to see them win another one.

Laaaaaaame...

Anyway, reading reviews of the jack...seems that all the jacks have a problem failing after only a few uses. From the regular low profile jack, to the higher end aluminum ones. It either starts leaking, the u-joint breaks, but in general just garbage.
I have my own opinion of Sears, but Ill reserve that for now.

All the Cowboys want for Christmas is an offensive line. Romo is running for his life, already sacked twice and knocked down once. lol

He might not come back...

There is a weakspot in the line tonight, and they are pushing through. They were looking good for a second there, even with Romo running for his life.

the jack might take 5 pumps in the store, but not when you put 3k lbs on it...........

The one I use hits the frame in 2 and gets the car in the air after a few more.

Mine takes about 15-20 to reach the frame....and then it gets a little better.

Check the fluid. Seriously. It sounds like you are low. 15-20 is too many, and that jack may not be safe.

i got a 2.5 ton craftsman small jack which sucks. however, i use jackstands anytime i go under a car. stand under an old centerpost lift one time and have it release air suddely while youre under it... youll learn quick. 3 months of rehab....

yeah, going under a car with no stands = dumb.. i know a guy who had part of the car go through his head and into his brain. no one was home, he was stuck like that til his dad came home. he survived, barely. and could never walk or talk right again.

damn. yeah i nearly had a lift fall on me. actually the truck on the lift fell off the lift. one of the geniuses at firestone lifted it improperly and the front came off the supports. scary as hell but it didnt fall completely off.

i want to be invincible for christmas.

I picked up one at the E-town swap meet, Harbor Feight I think, the BIG Orange tents. They work great and I now have two of them. They are around $60. The one is now about 10 years and it still works great, I'd say 10-12 pumps from bot to top. I think it's 3.5 tons. It's not bad for the money and just for home use.
