Re: jack inquiry
A crocodile jack. I also had a China 2 Ton before. I had no problem jacking up a RAV4. However I seldom leave the jack itself for support as I use jack stands asap. I felt it could even take more load for lifting.

Re: jack inquiry

Re: jack inquiry
Very good chance it should work then. Just be careful when buying China jacks. Most of these have no rebuild kits. Mine had a piston oil leak after several months of occasional use.

Re: jack inquiry
do you know of any that have rebuild kits?
Re: jack inquiry
Best to ask the seller before purchasing.
I had the Tekiro 2 Ton crocodile jack I purchased from LYS Hardware. IIRC around 4,100 pesos. They say that they can service the jack if there is a problem. They claim it to be made in China but my research says otherwise. Looks like its Indonesian. Too confusing sometimes.

Re: jack inquiry
besides internal o-rings, what else are the replaceables inside a croc jack?

Better check this for additional info. He's posting about Asian jacks.

Re: jack inquiry
yung van has a curb weight of around 1.5 to 2 tons if im correct. kaya kung ijajack mo lang naman ang isang corner eh kayang kaya...yung pickup ko kasi eh just shy of the 1.5 ton mark.
Re: jack inquiry
hi Sir miked, may idea kayo kung anong matibay na jack(bottle type)? ang hirap kasi gamitin nung stock. thanks
