Ditto, on the AC. Just used it a couple of hours ago to put new brakes in
my truck. Great jack. See http://www.ultimategarage.com/ach-overview.html
Quality costs money. I have heard good things about Comaq jacks from
Denmark. Lincoln made a good jack until they more their factory offshore
about 5 years ago.
Just wondering where did you find a Hein-Werner and how much will that set
you back.
I purchased a cheap sears bottle jack to make a power carpet stretcher that
I used in some tight spaces. Oil was leaking out of that bad boy first
use. Got lucky and got some cardboard under before it stained the carpet.
