Are Hein-Werner Floor Jacks going away?

[Ranger_One]

I am looking for a new floor jack and I was interested in this one..... Hein Werner HW93652 3-Ton Floor Jack.

When I look online they seem a lot harder to find for sale. And if I look for their website, it looks like it is 'not working'. I know Hein-Werner is apparently owned by Shinn Fu America, and even their website barely shows anything, either.

Is Hein-Werner going away as a brand? Or perhaps, just their floor jacks? ( It seems their jack stands are a little easier to find online yet. )

Thanks in advance for any help with this one!!!

The hein Werner you buy today is not the same company that made them 75 years ago. The name was applied now recently to what used to be the Lincoln design. Are you attached to the design? The name?

They are supposed to be professional-grade, high quality, and Made in the USA. Although, last I heard, they are probably just Assembled in the USA (Not "Made....." here any more). But if the quality is still there, and they are Assembled in the USA, then.... I would prefer to go that route.

That said, before I switch off to a different professional-grade brand/mfg., then.... I would like to figure out if Hein-Werner, or at least their floor jacks are going away or not?

There seems to be few people selling them (not a good sign), and while AutoZone might mention them on their website, the the HW93652 jack is unavailable for purchase.

Again... thanks for your help!!!

Have you looked at AC Hydraulic jacks? European made to high quality standards. Don't be alarmed by their "ton" rating, being metric one "ton" is 1000 kilos or 2200 lbs.

I bought mine in the 70's.
Hope it is one of the good ones.

It will probably last you the rest of your life….

I have two HW 93642s. The 10 yr old one is USA. The 5 yr old is USA with global materials. They're identical other than the stickers and both are great jacks. It's a decades old proven pump design, u cup seals, rebuild kits are available so it's not disposable. Last time this came up the 3T was still USA.

I also have an AC high lift jack.

Yes unfortunately, Hein Werner is discontinuing their floor jacks. I still have a few in stock 2 Ton and 3 Ton. For prices check out our online catalog in the bottom of our home page. https://jackxchange.com/
