Napa Jack

[fordbroncodave]

i got the napa jack today. I thought i did pretty good. couple little scuffs but the price was right at $180. the store manager even said i got it for less then his cost was only because someone added it to an in store order and never came to get it (probably taking up needed room)

the sales flyer says its $240 and online price is $399

i'll take dimensions later, releasing the handle to lower the load is very smooth, way better then the snap on jack. holy cow this jack is heavy! with a wide stance it seems to support my truck well. lifting it was effortless. i lifted the truck with my pinky finger on the end of the jack handle. i am happy!
(i know i lifted the truck in the wrong spot but i just wanted to see if it still brang the wheel off the ground and it did)

I have never owned a napa jack myself. I was always wondering how well they work.

The heavier the better if your asking me.

And ime ording a "you ****"

They are made in China though. Are they that much better than a $70 HF 3 ton jack? I've not seen one in the store so I don't know.

I was at Harbor Freight today and a guy returned that identical model, I don't know what was wrong but they brought him a new one from the back of the store. I was unaware that they had a higher than 3 ton in that configuration. Being too busy picking up a 1/2" torque wrench and a OBD II reader to keep in my wife's car for emergencies I didn't get to hear what was wrong with it, but the thing sure looked very used.

That Napa jacks shares it Hydraulic unit with many different jacks including Omega, Otc, Blackhawk and they it all boils down to Warranty. I believe the Napa warranty is better than HF (2year). Nice purchase

 

[stricht8]

True about the warranty but you can buy 3 of those HF jacks which are essentially the same as the NAPA for the price the OP paid. I don't see it as a great bargain. When it comes to jacks I would spend <60 dollars for china made, 300 plus dollars for a US made unit or buy a US made Jack used on CL. Paying over $100 for a China jack just doesn't
make sense to me.

 

[fordbroncodave]

the whole origin of make aside, this has to be one of the better chinese jacks out there after looking through many at northern tool, walmart, tractor supply, carquest and lowes/home depot even sears.

as usual i might make a quick video of it. this is very comparible to the michelin jack they sell at sams club but not seeing a display model i don't really know for sure.

for a chinese jack, i would say this one is a keeper

thats all we use at the dealership i work at, i think we have 3 or 4, theyre used and abused by techs everyday and they still work great, its a nice jack imo

Is it this model or the previous Lincoln USA model that Napa used to sell? They look similar with the 90 degree flaps on the frame, along with the single pump all the way down to the padding on the handle, Rest assured thats as far as the similarities go.

i like the fact it has a cover over the bleeder. my old snap on had a plastic breather and it got sheared off. wow was i pissed i had to pay $14 for a lil plastic breather!!! i guess that wasn't as bad as a $70 handle with a stripped socket on the end of it

I sell new Breathers for $9 bucks and there metal, Also have new hex plates that you just weld in.

 

[fordbroncodave]

my snap on jack is long gone. i got it for $5 without a handle. i had to make a handle and later buy the breather.
it was a good jack, i guess it ended up in the junk yard in the first place because the frame twisted.

you know, thats a great question and to be honest, im not really sure. i know theyre napa pro 3.5 ton jacks

There the newer import ones then as Walker nor lincoln ever made anything above 3 in the small frame.

I got one like it a few months ago to help raise my two Dodge diesel trucks. It works fine but just a litle slow to pump up. I believe I paid $220 for the one. I still like my old Hein-Warner and Blackhawk jack as first choice.

 

[jteck75]

I've had the same jack for a while now in my shop, and it has been great. Although my jack says its COO was Japan,but oh well,Japan,China,Siberia,whoever made it made a good jack.

 

[fordbroncodave]

does anyone think the jack in the picture could go higher? thats where it stops and the overload starts kicking in

 

[Arne73]

What is the measured lift? How does it compare to the stated/advertised lift?

 

[fordbroncodave]

i measured it will go up to 20.25" high but falls down to 19.5" after the pressure bypass.
