Once again the F-150 (5600 pounds empty) needs service. Although being used well within specifications, my last Torin branded floor jack developed terrible descent control, had very significant differences in function depending on the temperature, and eventually developed an internal leak WHILE BEING USED TO LIFT. It went to the scrap yard despite being used only 20 or so times over 10 years.
I like the stability of a floor jack as opposed to a bottle jack, at least to get something up in the air, and I'll need 3 tons or more lifting capacity. My experience with tools leads me to reject the "they're all the same" mentality and I sure don't need an injury to deal with.
Can anyone tell me of good or bad experiences with floor jacks? Is there another type of jack I should consider?
Thanks in Advance
