I am Mark from Michigan!! I purchased this jack back in June 2022. Let me start out by saying I use my jack 20-30 times a week servicing bikes. Did I mention that I am “hard in equipment” also? This jack has had a rough life with me. I’ve dropped it, I’ve ran it over, I’ve forgot to shut my tailgate and the poor lil jack rolled out of the back of my truck when I was making a turn in a busy intersection. I dropped it in the river when on a mobil repair service call. It went tumbling uncontrollably down the the side if a steep hill when my rope broke during the haul back. Like I said I’m hard on equipment !!!!! It has survived all of my abuse and is in great working order It’s a “tough” lil guy. !! And super affordable I thought.
