can anyone give me some info on a old walker 4 ton mechanical jack. I found on one on craigslist for 150 looks like its in good shape. Id be using it to lift a 03 chevy 2500hd. I was curious if it was worth my time and money or would i be better served getting a arcan 3 ton from costco.

They are neat, but not that practical. If you do want to buy it check it over very well for cracks. IIRC they are from the ~1920's. One thing you might want to check on your truck is how much jack lift you will need to get the wheels high enough off the ground.

Its like a ratchet. I was just curious if it was just a novelty or something you could still use today

I'd say there is a reason these are no longer made. I saw one at an auction a couple years age, I was looking at it for a museum , but the guy who bot it was going to use it.
