Default Show off your Jack(s)

Here are the current Jacks I own.





The small one is a no-name Chaiwanese type I had to buy to get a job done.... Has done pretty well.

The medium sized orange one is the STRONGARM Jack I got with a bunch of tools I bought.... This particular one was made in Canada.... Now they sell the exact copy of it at HF, now made by some Chinese company.... I had to get the handle from HF because they were the same ones Strongarm was replacing them with.







The Blue one is my new pride and joy... The Lincoln (Sans Rear wheels) until Hiball hooks me up.

And finally, the large Orange one is an HF model. Funny how it is almost the same size as the Lincoln but is "rated" at 2.5 T.

I used this type one year of light use... Had in in storage and then it $#it the bed. Luckily I had got the extended warranty on it and they just replaced it. So my advice is that if you buy this type from HF... Get the replacement policy, you will probably need it (Same goes for their Scissor type transmission jack)

Default Re: Show off your Jack(s)

Here is a few of mine, I have aproximately 100 floor jacks on the floor and would venture to guess around 250-300 Bottle jacks. These are just some i had on my computer. I suppose untill i sell a jack to someone, There all mine.

882 (Large).JPG
Walker Model 882, 2 ton 1 of Walker first designed hydraulic jacks. Still the same similar design used in the Hein Werner badged Long frame 2 tons today. 65+ years and still a quality product. Notice all the fancy frame artwork, Back then Blackhawk was designing similar jacks, making them look like cars with headlights etc. 87lbs of USA Craftmenship.



older93657 (Large).JPG
Lincoln 4Ton 93657, Same jack as Blacknwhitepit's minus the cover for the pic, One of my favorites. 181lbs of Made in the USA.



93657 (Large).JPG
Same jack as above but with the older double walled frame, I believe this one was badged Walker before the lincoln buy out. 181lbs of MADE IN THE USA



ausco (Large).JPG
BIG MOMMA, 400lbs of Good ole MADE IN THE USA Pure Iron, This 10 ton beast beggs to lift 15 ton. It was manufactured by Ausco but uses a HeinWerner Unit with a few mods.



Hwx10 (Large).JPG
Hein Werner X10 Ten ton Monster, tipping the scale also around 400lbs. MADE IN THE USA



Weaver W75 (Large).JPG
Another of my favorites, 10 ton Weaver w75. Simple design all welded Frame, Foot pump. 356lbs of MADE IN THE USA

Here is the jack I just bought off E-bay. Now to try and figure out who made it. I think I did ok for $28 and fuel to go get it $30. What do you folks think? The tag can not be read. It is about 4' long and 200#s if that helps ID it. Thanks

I believe its a Very,very,very Early Walker Jack. Maybe The first design. I seen it on ebay but it was too far away from me. Walker made a 3 ton jack early in its history and it didnt go over well for some reason, Ive yet to see one but something told me when i seen that jack on ebay that was what i was looking at. Nice find.

My first thought was Blackhawk but I have no idea. It does look to be an early type jack witht he "fancy" wheel brackets. unfortunately the tag is damaged and I cant get any info off it. Thank you for your suggestion.

Mine from a previous post. A China made NAPA unit, good size and works well, real solid. A blackhawk manufactured Craftsman from the early '70's. Its red now, came new as a metallic green and white, I bought it new. Had a hydraulic shop rebuild it once due to leaking down, never did quit but doesn't leak much. Might try to rebuild it my self again.

My reasoning on your jack being a walker.

2.5 ton hf long frame, works like a champ. I've had it going on 7 years now, dad had one around 20 years old, was still going when the farm was sold. It comes with seals, so no big deal if it needs rebuilt.

Picture didn't load on last post. Trying this again.

I have another jack that has the same 3 position adjuster for the handle. Is this Walker specific or did anyone else make them like that? I was told that other jack was a blackhawk but have no idea anymore. Thanks for your input.
