Torin T83360 3 Ton Hydraulic Trolley Jack Review

If there is zero star, I would give zero for this vendor/ product/Amazon customer service. I bought this combo from Northern Tool & Equipment, an Amazon market seller, in January. When it arrived, I noticed the base rails on both stands are bended, they might get damaged during shipping as there is no additional cushion added other than the original manufacture packing. The original packing only has a few cardboards inside trying to secure the devices in position, however, it barely works to support the heavy stuff. In terms of the jack, after jacking up my Audi A4 a few times, the jack ceased working last week, looks like it develops a leak and can't jack up a compact car anymore. Since Amazon claims that the A-Z policy can guarantee your money back if something goes wrong, I complained the problem to Amazon, however, when you really come to the point, you start realizing the A-Z policy is just a piece of crap. Amazon simply push you out and ask you to contact the seller to resolve the issue. The seller only offers replacement, for a "quality" stuff like this, I doubt anyone would like to risk his life giving them a second chance. I talked to Amazon that I need to return it, but Amazon keeps saying if the replacement doesn't work out, we will file a claim on behalf of you. What happens if the jack stand can't hold up at the second time? Be aware of the Amazon market seller, be ware of the Amazon customer of service. Very bad online buying experience.

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.

Torin T84030 3 Ton Low Profile Aluminum Racing Jack Review

This jack is built quite well. Have owned it for 1 year with no problems. Use it fairly regularly. It is quite heavy duty and weighs approximately 72 Pounds. It works really well with smooth lift and release operations. Lifts my 95 Roadmaster wagon with ease. The only complaint I have and it is cited in the Jack documentation is that you must place stands under the car where the jack slowly drifts down. I will drop a note to the manufacturer to verify this is proper operation. Other than that I would recommend it.

I bought this jack for my son for working on his truck after I saw him jury rigging a smaller jack. He started using the jack as soon as he got home. It lifts the truck up high enough to get the big tires he has off the ground. Now all his friends come over so they can use the jack. It lifts the truck with no problem at all. Last weekend he replaced the rear passenger strut on my Impala. It jacked the car up high enough so that it was no problem getting at the strut. I would highly recommend this jack for anyone with a truck.

I had this Jack for 7 months, used sparingly. For those 7 months I was happy with it. Good sturdy construction with thoughtful grip-areas. It did its job well.
However, after 7 months I saw a puddle of oil seeping out from under the jack. It was unusable after that. Turns out it is a fairly common issue with this model as some other sites with reviews show people with the same kind of issues.
I have not found a suitable replacement (that is as easy to use in this price point) but it sucks that a 100 dollar jack would only last 7 months. I have (and relatives as well) 25 dollar autozone specials that come with jackstands that are still going strong after 2-3 years.
If you have this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ALWAYS use jackstands with this. I don't trust it with my car and I certainly don't trust it with my life.
