3 ton Omega or 3.5 ton Blackhawk?

[Kmt803]

I want to get a Jack for my Silverado pickup,Jackxchange has the Omega 21030 for $142 and Amazon has the Blackhawk for $161, I seen in previous posts where Hiball has said some of the Omega jacks are pretty good,and the Blackhawk has good reviews on Amazon. I would appreciate any advice you could give me. I have an old Blackhawk S4 that I intend to restore but I'm gonna do that when I have more money and time. Thanks for any help.

They are both manufactured by the Same parent company of Shinn Fu, Ive rebuilt a handful of Omega Jacks and while ive never sourced rebuild parts from them directly, There have been past posts where the Company has stood behind there products from a parts standpoint. If you are a person who likes to fix there own problems and not just buy New every few years this is obviously a Great asset. Its possible that they also support the Blackhawk line also, im not 100% sure. If it was my money i would probably go with the Omega, Its a Solid design, No Extra Quick lift valves/Seals to go bad and it appears from there Manual that it does in fact utilize a UCUP versus a 2 piece Oring/Retainer setup.

Good Luck on your choice.
