Re: New floor jack
I have one of those MVP jacks. It worked great for ten years until I loaned it to a friend who was working on his Camaro project car. I have no f-ing clue what he did to it, but now I can't pick up a deck of cards with it. I used it on all kinds of stuff (including full size trucks) without an issue. He had it for three weeks and it's blown out.

Personally, I would recommend picking up a Sears Craftsman jack. My MVP lasted quite a while, but after talking to most of my friends, that was a rarity.

You get what you pay for and your ride is worth a lot more than $25. Think about that when you're cranking the sucker up with an inferior jack.
