Recycle Floor Jack

[artbuc]

Picked up my new Daytona Super Duty yesterday. Now can jack-up rear of my low ES 350 sedan. What can I do with my 30 year old 2 ton Alltrade? Still works fine, does not leak oil. Hate to throw away and do not want to give it away…would be terrible if it failed on someone. Don’t want to keep it cuz my garage is tiny…can barely move around as it is. Suggestions?

Build a frame and turn it into a press?

Keep it? There's been times when I need two jacks.

Many times a second jack comes in handy for me. Guess it all depends on what work you are doing if you would need a second jack. But there have been many times where a second jack has come in handy to lift up a transfer case or something like that. I now have a transmission jack and a motorcycle/atv jack for things like that, along with a 3.5T, 3T, and some bottle jacks. But they come in handy for putting pressure on suspension parts or holding up a transmission tail shaft or stuff like that. I'm a half *** hoarder so would never throw away a useful tool like an extra jack. But I do a lot of repairs so it's not just sitting there. If OP only does basic maintenance then it might not be worth keeping in a small garage. But a second jack does come in handy.

Second jack comes in handy if needing to apply pressure to lower control arm.

Getting close to 77…my days of doing heavy work are over especially in my little downsized garage. Have two fairly new vehicles so I am looking at fluid changes, tire rotation and brake jobs.

Sell it on kijiji/facebook/craigslist/whatever or if you're not into that put it by the road with a free sign on it.

Scrap yard will take.

Toss it, not worth the calories to worry over...

We seem to have dedicated corners where people seem to do that a lot. Pick one far from home to avoid traceability.

No reason for 2 jacks then. I googled alltrade 2 ton floor jack and looks like the older style basic jacks are 39.99. Set it on curb with free sign or donate it to goodwill or similar. Or just scrap it.

Give it to Jill. I'm sure that she will be happy to be reunited with Jack.
