I have been looking for a good floor jack for awhile now. I don't really have the funds to buy a new USA made one. Would love to find an older stylish Walker, Blackhawk or the like but have not ran across one for sale locally.

On my way home I spotted a man dragging this out to the curb.

I pulled over and asked if I could have it. He said it works fine, but slowly leaks fluid while sitting. His wife ended up falling in the oil and thus she said it has to go.

I looked it over thoroughly and can't seem to find any indication of make, model or tonnage. I have a feeling it is an offshore unit but am not sure. The large sticker on the column is just operating instructions, nothing else.

I had to try it and it jacked my car up with no issues and held it for 1 min without moving at all. It may not be the best, but hopefully it will get me by until I can find a nice vintage unit. At least the price was right. :bounce:

For reference it is 25" long, 12" wide and reaches 16" lift in 20 pumps.
Any information would be appreciated.

Also I am looking for a good set of 4 jack stands, if anyone has an economical recommendation I would like to hear about them.

It's a Import..sold under many different companies, they rated them things from anywhere from 1 1/2 ton up to 3 ton. Can't beat the Price... :lol_hitti

Your gonna get lots of feedback on jack stands, a lot of people have had good luck with HF, I prefer the older Lincoln sold stands (have 4 pair) which can be found under the Hein Werner brand Now.
