I'm looking for an older floor jack, min 3 ton capacity. Modern 3 ton floor vs older style 3 ton floor Jack. Funny thing is, the older ones are three times size and built much stronger with the same capacity.

In short, I don't trust newer floor Jacks ratings, the only floor Jack that seems built to it's actual capacity that I KNOW OF is Hein werner.
However, Hein werner 3 ton floor Jacks are north of $500.


I'm looking for an older used one because they're the best $ per $ and I can save money.
I plan on replacing motor mounts, engine shocks, and engine shock bushings.

I've narrowed it down to two choices.

I DON'T trust something like this to lift my car, 3 tons? REALLY?

Are those good choices or am I better off buying new? Am I going overkill acquiring such massive Jacks?
