Looking for a 2 ton scissor jack for my boat.
Its must be a quality unit, that I can use with my cordless impact.
Threads stripped on the one I used today, AC Delco, pathetic and worthless.
Yep, I'm frustrated!

Husky towing scissor jack # 7500 lbs. SKU 76862 $85.50 A little overkill but should last. I was looking at something like this instead of hauling a floor jack on week long fishing trips.
I use a small Hydraulic floor jack that packs down into it's own case, more stable than a scissor jack and works well for me.
I use a small bottle jack and a piece of wood.
I use something close to this.......its light..........you can get it under low boat axles.........its cheap enough.........and does 3 ton not 2 ton.

I am not carrying around a floor jack. I am open to bottle and scissor jack suggestions though.Originally Posted by 5keepers2

In the box made for it.......it is not bad.....stores easy........handles easy......not that heavy.......read the specs close.......probably takes up about same room as scissor jack
I have a small floor jack in each vehicle. Each is about 16 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 4 inches high. I bought mine at Tractor supply.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
I agree with the above posters, go for a bottle jack or small hydraulic!
I thank a bottle jack would be to tall to get under the axle.
^^^^^ This.....compact and takes up little room.
Here is the reason I need a scissor jack.
I ve had 2 eye surgeries last yr, and I can't put much strain on myself. So, pumping
a bottle jack is not an option. I have 2 of them, btw.
Ive had to change how I work on things, and some things I can't do anymore, (run a chainsaw, etc.).
I would rather use a bottle jack, but all things considered, I can use my battery impact w/ scissor jack, and get the job done.
Thx for the tips
I carry the one from my (totalled) Mazda 323, but my boat weighs about 3k on the trailer, single axle. I would wonder if the hammering of the impact wrench is the problem with yours?
Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.
I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
