There are other european brands like Compaq, ESCO, but their jacks are difficult to find in the USA because I don’t think they have a major distributor. There are also European companies here like AC hydraulics ( AC-Hydraulic Floor Jacks/Jack Stands - ). Or Weaver ( Castle Equipment Co Weaver Jack Hydraulic Service Jacks MADE IN USA).Īs noted above, Shinn Fu is unusual as they are a Taiwan company that has a line of jacks “mostly” made in USA which is Hein Werner ( Heinwerner Automotive Homepage Hein-Werner Auto) USA manufacturers include Milwaukee Hydraulics ( : Milwaukee 4 Ton Service Jack)

I have only seen Shinn Fu put U cups on the main ram of their jacks, which usually makes that part of the jack very durable, they don’t cheap out with the o ring+retainer seal on the main ram. Many Shinn Fu jacks may be advertised having a “Speedy Lift” or ”Magic Lift“ system where there is only one pump in the back. Shinn Fu jacks are also relabeled by a lot of different brand names. Omega is their premium line of imported jacks.

Hein Werner is their premium line of mostly “made in USA” jacks. Their house brands are Hein Werner, Omega, Blackhawk, Banner, Porta Power, and Pro-Lift. the next biggest manufacturer you’ll see is Shinn Fu America ( Shinn Fu America Homepage - SFA - Hydraulic Lifting Equipment Hydraulic Jacks Stands Dollies). If I,am not in a big hurry I just use the low profile jack & pucks and raise one side at a time.ps: The' black jack' is new & may not be in all stores at this time: as per the auto manager.If you’re looking for someone other than Torin. So the wheel ends up in the center of the 2x10 every time. I have the floor taped off to prevent guess work on the correct position of the 2x10.

My standard floor jack fits under any puck that has the 2x10 in position under the wheel. (no drilled holes in the floor required or sliding bolt latches) I have about 4 rubber strips spaced evenly stapled to the width of each board. The one end is rounded off with my belt sander & has a regular door threshold rubber stapled on the bottom to prevent slippage on a painted garage floor. If I want to raise the front or rear quickly and evenly I ( need helper on other jack) put a 2x10's on the floor. My other regular 3t floor jack will not fit under any of the jacking pucks.

I just measured the low side of my vette in the garage.My right front is a little lower than the left.The right side is 4 3/8' between the floor & the bottom of the jacking puck.
