I'm looking over some decent stuff and have a question ...

Has anyone heard of NORCO jacks? From their product offering it looks like they generally make heavy duty stuff ... if their product worth the bucks?

I was also checking out Hein Werner - same question ...

the jacks in question
1. NORCO - 71300A - seen http://www.jackxchange.com/products/71300A.cfm

2. Hein Werner - HW93652 - seen http://www.jackxchange.com/products/HW93652.cfm

TIA

 

Are those really the prices? Geesh! How about a Michelin 3-Ton from Sam's for around $75? Mines been trouble free for 3 years (after I added a pin to keep the handle on while pulling it around. the little snap bearing didn't cut it.)
cheers

 

X2!!! ^^^ I have the same "Michelin" jack. Works very well and is rugged. Much better price too; it greatly resembles the Hein Warner jack.

 

Go to swap meets,find a unit 20/30 years old made in a far off land called USA.

 

thanks for the input ...I have hopefully found a jack that I'll be happy with, it was delivered a few days ago, used it a few times and have been happy so far.

Beefy construction, smooth action, fits underneath my car without rolling it up on boards first, wide footprint so she feels stable ...

ARCAN XL35 floor jack ...

Pretty good capacity for the price.
