I've been using a friend's jack for a while and I just sold my F-150 for I have some money to spend. I was looking at a Craftsman 4 ton speedy lift jack with a lift of aobut 20". It's $100. There are lots of negative reviews on Craftsman jacks for some reason too. Anyways, does this sound like a good jack? or where else should I look besides Sears?

^+1 on craftsman... granite for a pro mechanic u'd want a snap on or similar but for the hobby mechanic craftsman is excellent... jmo

I was looking at a 3 ton, it was really similar but it didn't have the speedy lift thing. Only $58 though.

get the 4 ton for the diesel truck you dont have yet, spend the money and buy one once... thats my take on jacks and stands and tools...

I just bought some 3 ton stands for $20 a pair. I can expect to lift a lot more than 3 tons with 4 though, right?

I also finally got my own tools. Spent $200 for a 243 piece. Installed a new clutch on my Ranger with em and had every thing I needed.

Get a nice aluminum one. Northern Hydraulics has a few.

is 4 greater than 3? if so i'd say its a safe bet you can!



Sorry you set yourself up...lol J/K[8D]

I knew that it sounded odd after I typed but what I meant was can i lift a lot more than 3 tons, with 3 ton stands, when I use 4 stands. lol
