Would you say the Hein Werner is worth the money at this price point? Is it the same quality and replacement parts the same as when it was all American?
The current 93652 is a good jack. It’s success is based on having a simple, yet well thought out hydraulic design with quality parts and rebuild capability.
Yes, I have a current model 93652, bought 1 year ago. It is a utilitarian jack. No frills, just works. To me, it was not about how much it cost when I bought it because I expect to be using it until I can’t work on vehicles anymore. It is a different type of mindset than the “it only cost $*** dollars, if it lasts X years before I need to buy another, I’ll be happy” mindset.
The changes to the 93652 that I took note of before I bought it include 1) the seal on the pump piston changed. It used to be leather chevron seals and got changed to a polyurethane U cup. 2) the reservoir vent used to be one piece all plastic, now it is metal with a plastic cap on top. The power unit and pump assembly are physically the same, but I believe are now the “global” components.
