OK, so my old faithful Craftsman floor jack is finally on it's way out. I think it's about 20 years old, heavily used. It is leaking, and it takes forever to get the last 2" or so of travel out of it, lots of flailing away on the handle for little action. I don't know if I can get a rebuild kit for it, I guess I should check.
Reviews of all the jacks on sears.com now are generally unfavorable. I hate buying junk that doesn't last. I'm also not keen with buying one sight-unseen. Anything you guys can recommend? I should also mention that I need the "saddle" piece to be removable and leave a flat plate area, something I can drill and tap for bolting on my custom-built tranny jack fixtures.
