I have a 3 ton. Works fine. I've only had it a year so I don't know how long it'll hold out.
I have one of their small 3 ton aluminum jacks. Works good. But like any jack, they are made to lift, not support.

I have a lowes -piece of Chinese junk!
I have plenty of jack stands! I am always tempted to look for bargain, but a farm sale is the likely place. but I hat driving 340-40 min to get there and wait hours to bid on something that somebody else thinks is worth twice what I think! ha
craigs list? I do not like getting screwed so I "nicely" try to tell the seller IF they sell me a piece of S*** from him, I will be back and it won't be a nice thing. so ,... many times they get "nervouis" and tell me I don't want it!! ha funny how that works?
I will try HF!
They are pretty good just don't trust your life with the, You can always re seal your old one by bringing the seals/o rings to a seal place and they can get them.
it is just wore out, has had a lot of use. wheels are even worn! the whole thing. ha
The only thing I do not like about my aluminum jack is the lift height. Could use another 4" or so . I mean you an just get jack stands under it.

Picked up an "Allied" 1.5 at the wally world on clearance about 9-10 years ago or so for $35. As it turns out I should have bought all three they had. Very pleased.
This is my "take with" jack and lives in the pickup bed. Came in very handy towing the boat on I39 one day. It's also a back up for my old Walker.
