Portland OR Area GJers: Code Red

[Bull]

Pick up the phone. Now. $75

Would shipping to me be insane? Probably. But if you don't get it for Bully-boy, get it for yourself.

Isn't that the coolest style floor jack ever? I'd be all over it, too.

Nice jack. I saw that ad this afternoon and was pretty tempted. There has been a ton of nice jacks on CL lately.

When the next such Blackhawk pops up out there in Jackville USA, let's check the freight rates

Looks to be very 'art deco'.

If it can fit in a 48x24x24 crate, I shipped one to DC last week for about $390.

Ok, that kills it for me! I had better find one locally.

So does everybody really like these old jacks purely because they look really cool? Or are they actually better in any way than new ones.

Where are the new ones made?

That jack is USA made, has a design that kicks ***, and is $75. The Charlie-Chan jack at HF probably has steel 1/4 as thick, smells like rat dookie, and has a cool factor of zero.

I don't know about floor jacks much, but I could buy it If I needed one.

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

I'd be all over that.

It would be interesting to know the story behind the design of that jack for Blackhawk.

I meant new jacks in general.

Yeah, I know. But aren't most new jacks made in Asia somewhere now? Even formerly USA-made brands have gone offshore.

Plus, they all look basically the same.

Dang you guys are quick, wish I would have caught that one!

 

[Sick Puppy]

YOU ****! lol They had one of those here over Christmas, but it was leaking... I wanted it bad, but Christmas is Christmas, and my pockets were empty!

I was going to respond to that question, but I don't think I could improve on that response...

I guess I nailed it. People have always told me that I am "special." Must be because of my writing.
