I have to use heavy duty steel for my jacks, I"m too dang clumsy....
But I feel your pain in terms of trying to buy equipment that is not cheaply made overseas. I have been trying to find a good anvil for sale for several weeks now, It took a lot of digging to find a high quality cast steel anvil. The hunt is always worth it in the end, bad tools are more frustrating to use than good tools are to find!

I purchased a Arcan floor jack from Costco 25 years ago and it recently quit working so I refilled it with jack oil and its working again. I was in Costco during Christmas and saw Arcan floor jacks being sold for around $112.00 so that got heaved into my shopping cart. I do mean heaved, its steel and heavy. I only purchased a new one because I'm paranoid the old one will fail when I'm right in the middle of something.

Here's what I have. A Walker 4 ton model 93657, series K. It's big, heavy and works fantastic. Sounds like a freight train rolling it across the floor. I have an even older model of the same series, that I rebuilt in the 80's. It's just starting to leak down some after all this time. The long reach and handle that can change positions is great. Love them both.
