Does anyone own a Milwaukee model 20 or 40 Floor jack?

Well, as the title reads, has anyone out there in Garage Journal Land ever purchase a new Milwaukee model 20 or 40 floor jack? If so, how has it performed? And do you think it was worth the cost?

I have a model 20, I've had it about 3 years and it is the nicest jack I have ever owned or used. I also have a Lincoln and Walker jack that I have had for twenty and thiry years plus used evry brand I can think of except AC. A friend of mine bought a model 20 a year ago after using mine 1 time!. I would tell anybody who would listen to buy one.

Hi vssjim. What kind of vehicles have you been using it on (or should I say under)? I'm currently trying to rebuild a 2 ton long body Hein werner and have a Joyce Liftmaster 4 ton which I think is from the 30's and that one has a couple of issues. As I've posted in the rebuild thread for the Hein werner, if it gets too involved/expensive I'm seriously considering a Norco or Milwaukee. I've already had a Craftsman jack that I bought brand new and failed about a year and half later. Only later did I find out about the problems with imported jacks. Anybody else have their two cents to throw in about the Milwaukees?
