Looks pretty stout, is it made in the US or China?

I've got a Craftsman 3 ton jack. It's worked really well for me but I'm sure it's made in China unfortunately.

I have the same one as you O77. I found it holding up an abandoned car so I got it for the cost of some concrete blocks.

You need to get you some of those 6 ton Jack stands from HF next time they go on sale again for $24.99. What 3 tons do you have? Retro mentioned someone having some HF jack stands and they bent over. Probably the 3 tons. Also, the HF 3 ton don't have enough height for the SBs unless they are lowered. I got a set of the 6 tons though and they are great. I have had the Box Van on those when it was fully loaded with household items and they held up fine and had plenty of lift.

I'll add. One jack to avoid, is the HF Aluminum 2 ton Jack. I love that jack for what it is, but hate it for being a *****. It works on compact cars very well, but the second you try to lift a Square with it, you'll have jack oil going everywhere. It flat ass won't lift nothing but a compact car without leaking jack oil past the seals, and I do mean alot of jack oil as in a puddle, not just seepage. I like it for the quick lift / pump ratio, and the light weight. I think its actually lighter than my 5 ton bottle Jack I keep in the Box Van. I'd just avoid it unless you are buying for compact cars.
