Show off your Jack(s)

[Blacknwhitepit]

Here are the current Jacks I own.

The small one is a no-name Chaiwanese type I had to buy to get a job done.... Has done pretty well.

The medium sized orange one is the STRONGARM Jack I got with a bunch of tools I bought.... This particular one was made in Canada.... Now they sell the exact copy of it at HF, now made by some Chinese company.... I had to get the handle from HF because they were the same ones Strongarm was replacing them with.

The Blue one is my new pride and joy... The Lincoln (Sans Rear wheels) until Hiball hooks me up.

And finally, the large Orange one is an HF model. Funny how it is almost the same size as the Lincoln but is "rated" at 2.5 T.

I used this type one year of light use... Had in in storage and then it $#it the bed. Luckily I had got the extended warranty on it and they just replaced it. So my advice is that if you buy this type from HF... Get the replacement policy, you will probably need it (Same goes for their Scissor type transmission jack)

Here is a few of mine, I have aproximately 100 floor jacks on the floor and would venture to guess around 250-300 Bottle jacks. These are just some i had on my computer. I suppose untill i sell a jack to someone, There all mine.


Walker Model 882, 2 ton 1 of Walker first designed hydraulic jacks. Still the same similar design used in the Hein Werner badged Long frame 2 tons today. 65+ years and still a quality product. Notice all the fancy frame artwork, Back then Blackhawk was designing similar jacks, making them look like cars with headlights etc. 87lbs of USA Craftmenship.




Lincoln 4Ton 93657, Same jack as Blacknwhitepit's minus the cover for the pic, One of my favorites. 181lbs of Made in the USA.




Same jack as above but with the older double walled frame, I believe this one was badged Walker before the lincoln buy out. 181lbs of MADE IN THE USA




BIG MOMMA, 400lbs of Good ole MADE IN THE USA Pure Iron, This 10 ton beast beggs to lift 15 ton. It was manufactured by Ausco but uses a HeinWerner Unit with a few mods.




Hein Werner X10 Ten ton Monster, tipping the scale also around 400lbs. MADE IN THE USA




Another of my favorites, 10 ton Weaver w75. Simple design all welded Frame, Foot pump. 356lbs of MADE IN THE USA

Something about this statement we find fully believable

Here is the jack I just bought off E-bay. Now to try and figure out who made it. I think I did ok for $28 and fuel to go get it $30. What do you folks think? The tag can not be read. It is about 4' long and 200#s if that helps ID it. Thanks

@Hiball:
nice collection !! Now show us your other 94 jacks !

I believe its a Very,very,very Early Walker Jack. Maybe The first design. I seen it on ebay but it was too far away from me. Walker made a 3 ton jack early in its history and it didnt go over well for some reason, Ive yet to see one but something told me when i seen that jack on ebay that was what i was looking at. Nice find.

My first thought was Blackhawk but I have no idea. It does look to be an early type jack witht he "fancy" wheel brackets. unfortunately the tag is damaged and I cant get any info off it. Thank you for your suggestion.

LoL, Thats not a standard jack next to your AC, thats a compact ie:"In case of emergency use me" jack.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I have one like that! Except mine is red, branded Sealey and is the cheaper version. It's a good jack though, low entry, high lift and very solid. I like the long chassis too.

Best pic i have of it, holding up the gearbox in my friends W123 Mercedes-Benz:

 

[Charles (in GA)]

Mine from a previous post. A China made NAPA unit, good size and works well, real solid. A blackhawk manufactured Craftsman from the early '70's. Its red now, came new as a metallic green and white, I bought it new. Had a hydraulic shop rebuild it once due to leaking down, never did quit but doesn't leak much. Might try to rebuild it my self again.

Found this at a car show:

Looks like the AC and Sealey 2200HL version....

Sealey 2200HL 2 ton

edit: The Sealey 1,3 ton 1301HL high lift model says made in denmark

 

[Jared]

a couple 20 ton bottle jacks and the torin big red floor jack from costco.

My reasoning on your jack being a walker.

 

[nissan_crawler]

2.5 ton hf long frame, works like a champ. I've had it going on 7 years now, dad had one around 20 years old, was still going when the farm was sold. It comes with seals, so no big deal if it needs rebuilt.

 

[Flash21]

Man, LOVING those blue and yellow 4 ton Lincoln long frames!!!

 

[ihredo4]

My reasoning on your jack being a walker.

Here is a pic of the bottom side at the lever. I believe this is what you was refering to in your picture.

 

[ihredo4]

Picture didn't load on last post. Trying this again.

I have another jack that has the same 3 position adjuster for the handle. Is this Walker specific or did anyone else make them like that? I was told that other jack was a blackhawk but have no idea anymore. Thanks for your input.

 

[CraigFL]

I had to get an AC with an even lower profile to fit my car...

No there are many multi-handle position jacks but they are made differently, The handle position bracket sitting inside the fork of the handle screams Walker, Generally both pumps drive off the left side via 1 rod but i still think that is a very early Walker. Maybe the First Hydraulic design, I will forward some pics to my old timer buddies and see if we can figure it out. The fast/pressure side pumps are identical to the new ones except for there connection to the handle. Very interesting Thanks for sharing.

 

[GDA]

My working set. Picked them all up from Ultgar back in '03/04 and soo glad I went all the way back then. The low profile is so nice to have when working with lowered cars and the long reach is great for getting all the way to the front or rear subframe to lift certain cars all on one pass.

Another pic to show the capability of the high lift

Alright, here are my jacks, arranged as a comparison picture - new school vs. old school.

The smallest one is a Chinese-made "Pro-Lift." It can lift the Chevy but doesn't sound very happy doing it.

The next one over is a "Hy-Lift" jack from the 70s or 80s. Like the Pro-Lift it is nominally rated for 2 tons.

The big blue one is a Walker 882 from long, long ago. This too is a "2 ton" jack. I overfilled it and it's leaking at the moment, but it feels much, much stronger than the Pro-Lift. Well, looking at them, I guess that's not a huge surprise!

The BIG red one is a Walker 775 - to give you an idea of what Walker considered a 3 ton jack at the time. The frame isn't quite straight but it works wonderfully. I do wonder what on earth it must have been lifting, to tweak the frame!

Thanks for showing your jacks, Ive never seen a Walker 775. I knew they made some 3 ton long jacks but dont have any breakdowns or knowledge of them. Its obvious by that design it was early in there history, That frame design looks identical to there first mechanical jack designs.

 

[skipskip]

this one followed me home today.

I can read "Intermarket" and 4100 KG, but not the brand.

any ideas what it might be?

thanks

Taiwan, And a pain in my ****, I recently rebuild one for the local MFA and was never so happy to see something leave in my life. They said that they have had it for 5 years and it had been a good one, but started to leak. Just look at those stupid springs on those washers and the silly way those handle return springs mount to the handle assembly. AHHHHH..... K im better. Breathe in.... Exhale..... On a serious note i think the hydraulic portion is fine but to get to anything for instance the pump assembly it is a royal pain in the ****, I have never seen a jack design where they intended on you to junk it when its usefull life was up. I spent the better part of 2 days trying to get that jack rebuilt, the cross pin was froze and i was afraid to put too much heat for fear of ruining it. Ok enough ranting.

 

[skipskip]

AH!! a good one then!!


thanks

Here is my old Walker jack.

 

[ultgar]

30 lb portable jack - 1.8 tons. Range is approx 4.5" to 11.6" . Small footprint....has potential as a good track jack.

Not for high lifting or for use with SUV's or trucks. Made in China (where else???) and brought in by Esco. Not a bad jack for $275.

Some pictures below of the jack being used on a Mercedes E-class. These are popular in Europe but I haven't seen any marketed for cars here in the states yet.

I've only ever seen airbag jacks used for trucks and busses over here..

 

[Hiball]

It looks like its maxed out on height in your picture, Is the vehicle off the ground far enough to take the wheel off?

 

[Moose-LandTran]

It looks like it's just off the ground. My jacks are 8cm entry. I doubt the airbag offers much of an advantage.

 

[Blacknwhitepit]

Nothing personal, but that seems like a lot of money for something that looks like it barely lifts something up... and a limited purpose for only certain vehicles.

What is the advantage?

Thanks for the feedback guys....Esco sent me one to evaluate and it does have enough lift to get the wheel of the ground for changing tires. Unfortunately, it doesn't lift the car high enough for me to use their flattop jackstands. The major advantage is the low eight and small footprint...not something that's all that important in a home or commercial garage.

Just bought this red jack over the weekend for $70. It is a 2 tons. It is made in Japan so I assume it must be a good jack. Anybody know anything about it. Ignore the POS Crapsman jack in the background.

I should have bought one of those low profile ones...damn.

Worked on a couple but dont know much about them, Seemed like a solid Hydraulic system not like your typical Oring/backup imported junk.
