Weaver floor jack

[469 runner]

I'd love to have this and it is local. Seems a little overpriced to me. What do the jack experts here think it is worth?

A new one is $1400, so that price is likely fair if it works well. Seller may be negotiable on price.

Long chassis jacks are used for lifting heavy equipment and can lift far more than their ratings. Also the seals can last for decades instead of years.

I have a old as the hills Walker or Weaver jack. I thought the rating on it said 2 ton. We use it for lifting semi-trucks and splitting 12,000 lb. tractors. It is made from thicker metal than my 10-ton Napa floor jack and have never replaced the seals on it.

I wasn't familiar with Weaver until I read this thread and was surprised they still make jacks. The old jack in the pictures is a Weaver 2-ton. Not 100% positive as there is no tag. The other jacks are a Strong Arm 3.5 ton and a Napa 10 ton

One of those quality made USA items that seem to last forever.
