Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this from a well known online tool shop during a good sale. I have a lowered car and using my standard Sears jack requires removing part of the front valence followed by a musical chairs dance of alternating jack and jackstands to get all four wheels off the ground.
This "race jack" did away with most of that, as it has a hefty handle, pumps up quickly, and could be slipped under the car from almost any direction. It made getting under the car much easier.
I enjoyed use of this jack for about 1 year, until one day while lying on the floor of my garage, the jack started to slowly give out before I had my jackstands in place. I slid away from the car and started pumping again, but there was hydraulic fluid leaking from somewhere on the jack and in no time I had a puddle.
So now I'm back to my cumbersome but reliable Sears jack, which has given me many years of service for the tiny investment I made, but I miss the low profile, easy to use features of my broken Torin. I tried to contact the manufacturer, but nobody answered the phone (I called during business hours) and I have not been able to identify a source for rebuild kits. At this point I don't want to put any money into it, so I imagine I'll spend money on a good, quality jack and send this one to the recyclers.
