Is this a common thing with these jacks?

I guess the other question is.
Do I buy new or used? I don't want to have the same problem again.

Not even sure when will be the next time I will use one. lol

Buy a new one there was only one guy in Ontario that fixed jacks he packed up shop a few years ago.

Looks like Costco has a good deal on one with an SUV adapter.

And a great Costco warranty.

Just called the local Costco, $159 in store.
No brainer.

I rebuilt my 2ton, and another in a motorcycle lift (same concept). I took them apart then took the seals to Cummins Hydraulics in Newmarket. They fixed me up with the seals and o-rings, if I recall $30 or less.

Not sure if I’d bother with a 1.5 ton, that’s a really small jack. You can buy a new 2ton off the jungle website for $60.

I’d go at least 3 ton for suv or pickup work. If you have a compressor, you can get a 5 ton airbag jack for $150. I’d like one of those, light, fast and easy.

Costco has a longer satisfaction guaranteed policy then the jungle monkeys.

I'll get one from Costco and take this busted one to the scrap.

I don't use jacks often enough to justify the airbag jack. Not for the cost, but for the unjustified need.
