My HW also has a 2 piece handle, different from the past models. The front page owners manual part no./date code is HW93642W_022014. Decal and manual still say Assembled in US...........

Adding to my post above, I "think" these two red jacks have HW/ Shinn Fu genetics at lower prices. Needs more investigation. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089PT1GRY/?tag=atomicindus08-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XRVK83G/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Link to my thread on this...

This past spring my choice of heavy duty 3 ton jack came down to either the HW93652 or the Menards jack. I chose the HW. The Menards jack has been identified here (numerouse threads) as having the better U cup seals. I'll let ajchien fill in the details as he is VERY well versed in floor...

I would design and fabricate some kind of strap system to hold the motor/pump platform on top.

Tank depth is typically about 4 inches up to 2 feet, with an average being about 1 to 1.5 feet deep. Impossible to speculate without having all of the needed information. Best idea might be to bring a knowledgable local septic service guy to your place for an evaluation. If ground water is...

Excellent comparison shopping bubinga and excellent choice. I purchased a new floor jack at my workplace this past spring. I had always lusted for the Hein Werner 3 ton and it went on sale for $380 delivered through Zoro and I pulled the trigger (not my $, LOL.). It took 2 attempts to get...

Living in the rust belt, I attempt to not crack the paint off when using the pinch weld jack point, whether it be with rubber, wood, or heavy fabric. Ajchien's point of insuring that no side forces are applied to the pinch weld are spot on. There seems to be some disparity about pinch weld...

ajchien, you forgot to mention color as one of the important criteria.

Renting one would have cost less than $35.

The concept of the car weight lifted directly on the pinch weld bottom vs. the rocker panel bottom adjacent to the pinch weld has no consensus across the web. The reason a pinch weld bends is because a trolley/floor jack needs to roll/move as it is going up. If it cannot roll, side force is...

I thought that the Hein Werner version might possibly have "more" US content to account for more $$. I found other literature for the AL2300 that uses the same "US and global components" verbage, so it is probably just semantics, which might indicate that blue paint costs more than red...

Hein Werner HW93652 3 Ton Floor Jack = American Lifting AL2300?? After recently receiving my new workplace Hein Werner 3 Ton HW93652 floor jack, I found this VERY INTERESTING TIDBIT: Shinn Fu has established an "American Lifting" division that offers a floor jack similar (same as?) to the...

I agree, it *****. Tekton used to be in Michigan based Family Farm and Home stores also (similar to TSC) - an entire isle of tools. It just goes to show how very difficult it is to emulate the Craftsman hand tool brand success of decades past. Look how many times we have witnessed stores...

Maybe you could find one of these Craftsman tool cases? Are they still being sold? https://toolguyd.com/craftsman-mini-plastic-tool-boxes/

It certainly looks similar to a horse hames chain: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-primitve-horse-gear-hand-411667482...

I'm an occasional DIY shadetree wrencher. I bought the Gearwrench flex head style with the thought they would fill a niche not duplicated by my regular combo wrenches. I only use them occasionally. They did fulfill a unique tight clearance situation once by using an adapter with a socket on...

Hey ajchen, maybe you can ferret out more info about the Carlyle jacks for us??? A Youtube video suggests that the Carlyle jack 791-6420 is exactly the same as the predecessor NAPA branded 791-6420. This 791-6420 repair kit claims out of production...

If we want great service, we need to be willing to pay for it. Most people want cheap as possible. It's just how things are now a days. We mail order as much as possible to stay cheap. i.e., Rock Auto instead of local brick and mortar. The B&M's do as much as possible to compete (stay...
