    thats a long time for those things. Mine breaks on me constently, I have to keep fixing it. Instead of using bolts/screws they have metal twisty ties holding everything together...

          Does it have dual pumps? I noticed a mention of "speedy lift" in the product description. I got a "pepboys" dual-pump aluminum jack which was REALLY cool and lightweight until all of the hydraulic fluid started spewing out of it. I really liked the ability for it to lift things 2x faster than my tried-and-true jack (been in service for over 20 years since my step-dad and it still fucking rocks). If its that good, imma pick one up next week.

            You use a jack on your car that you constantly have to fix?

              I don't know about the dual pump deal but yes it goes up quick.

              It is by far my favorite tool type of thing I own, I love it

                That's the one I have too. Fits under my car which is very low. Watch for sales on it. I think I saw it down to like $150 recently. I paid $180 on sale, normally $250.

                    Yep the metal piece that connects the pump to the handle socket always detaches. Cheap as hell

                      The biggest cause of jacks failing that most people don't even know about is not tightening down the release valve after they pull the jack out. If it not tightened down while just sitting in your garage, the jack will go bad and no longer pump fluid. I don't know the exact reason for it, I just know it is true.

Those small little jacks are manufactured by the same company that makes all the little cheap ass ones you find in auto parts stores. $27 is about what the 4 jackstands are worth, they might as well be giving the jack away for free.

                          If you want to buy a jack from Sears, you buy this one, for $119.99. Spend the money and buy a quality product, and buy it once.
