[TR] Floor Jack

[Rye Livingston]

This topic may be winding down, but I'm gonna chime in with my recommendation.  Both my brother and I have the blue, aluminum, 80th anniversary OTC 2 ton Racing floor jack.  Not sure about the racing aspect, other than it is very light and easy to move around.

The main reason I want to highly recommend this jack is their support.  I'd had it for a couple of ears and the hydraulic part failed.  I emailed them about it, and they emailed back asking if I wanted to send the jack in, or they could send me the new hydraulic part.  Just like that!  Obviously I work on cars so I should be able to swap it out or I better turn in my "man card". No questions asked, no charge for anything, new part arrived.  I swapped it out, and recycled the old one.  My brother has had his jack longer than me, he's had no issues, so I think this was a one off thing.

To me a company can really show it's "metal" when they encounter of a problem.  They came through with flying colors.

       I’ve had a 3 ton HF aluminum jack for about 2 years. It really is much easier than my steel jacks to muscle around and, on sale, it was really reasonable. It seems that the chief criticism for all of the HF jacks in the rating is that the seals fail, sometimes almost immediately, and there are no rebuild kits or replacement seals available. My guess is that if the seals seat correctly when new the HF jacks are pretty reliable.
       Best,

I have the low profile steel one. Very happy. The orange one I had blew a seal, but was a work horse for many years
