You know sometimes "a picture can say 1000 words" and I agree.... but this apparently needed 1005.

I bought 2 of these 10 ton floor jacks for around $550 on a Govt. Planet auction site.
I wanted a "long body" style and the capacity would come in handy. That's one of my old normal 31/2 ton craftsman Jack's there for scale.!

I got a chuckle from it's enormously comical size when I saw it in person. I guess I should have paid more attention to the fact that there was only 1 per pallet and the fact that both ends were hanging out beyond the pallet a good 10".
Beyond weighing probably around 500#, and needing a 1/4 acre to turn it around, I did well value wise.
