Hein Warner is #1 on that list of top 5 MADE IN USA floor jacks.
I've heard before, these JEGS jacks are good. It'll be one of these three.
Thank you for your input!!

GoobPretty sure the Hein-Warner is the ONLY "made in USA" jack, and I would SERIOUSLY question if it is with domestic produced materials and parts.

I'll buy the Hein Warner no problem, if I find this to be True.
I can promise you I'm not buying china garbage at any price.

M120I was at harbor freight for tarps. I'm guessing all tarps are made overseas.
I looked at the Pittsburgh jack. It doesn't look real well made. It might work great but looks chintzy.

Made in China
Any tool that begins with Pittsburgh or Chicago is probably from China.

I think this is the one made in the same factory as the Snap-On ones. It just has a Pittsburgh sticker on it.

If you'd like to make rational claims in regards to the thread, it may behoove you to take glance at it.
The opening post in the thread might be helpful too. "supposedly"

As of yesterday... After reading about the lawsuit between Snap-On and Harbor Freight, I have a hard time believing any of the top five MADE IN USA floor jacks in this link, are MADE IN USA.

FK'n sad! Fraud-land USA.... Fraud everywhere you look. Everything is a con.
