im planing to buy this match 10 ton jack, asking price $300
model number AM-1000-M, made in Japan.
anybody knows anything good or bad or any other comments.
how old it is, who is oe manufacturer? or any other info.

its 5' long, its so heavy that it needs 2 people just to roll it around))
and maybe 4-5 people to load it in a truck.
its almost a low profile jack)) with 6" at lowest and goes up to 22"
its mega slow to pump it up to full hight. may be like 30 pumps.

It's just a older import, sold under numerous brands/colors ranging from $700-1300 depending on what color you want. The Good? Simply hydraulic unit with very few bells and whistles so less to go wrong, the Bad.. Support for hard parts is harder to find, 30 strokes might be a bit much and a indication of worn pump seals, remember though the cylinder is fairly large to accommodate 10 tons of lift, so it will take more pumps to get from point A to B.
