Found similiar if not the same reflectors at Menards, 12.88. Picked up two for my garage based on the results you guys are getting!

Thanks Hiball, I checked around the hydraulic and everything looks like soild screws but I'll keep an eye out for leaks when I put it on end.

One last questions Hiball, you mentioned that some jacks 'are not Sealed units as they require breathing to work properly'. Does this mean the jack will leak if stored vertically?

I could store it either way, with the hydraulics closer to the ground or the saddle. But since Hiball mentioned that it would be better to store with hydraulic closer to the ground, that’s what I’ll do. I did notice in some of the threads that Hiball was the resident expert on jacks. I do...

Hi, first poster here! Trying to organize my tiny one car garage for optimum use and realized this was the place to be. I just bought a new Arcan XL35R floor jack and due to its size was wondering if it was ok to store it vertically or if there was a reason that this would cause damage to...
