Hey guys, anyone else have the Sears SUV jack? It's black and yellow... I haven't used mine for a while, maybe 4 or 5 months, and I picked today to put on my Revos, and it picked today to not lift my jeep... I cranked that valve closed as tight as I could with a pair of pliers... Anyone else had this problem?

Should I bring it back to Sears? Thanks guys!
Benny

I probably will... Today it was nice out, and I need the exercise, so I did it with the regular jack... :)

Definitely take it back!! Sitting there for 5 months shouldn't cause it to not lift.

I had that jack for a while. It had a slow leak which caused it to be less and less effective (not to mention messy!). I think they are rather weak jacks and I'd get something else if you take it back.

For other options see here...http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=50265&highlight=floor+jack#50265

Thanks guys! I think I'll just take it back and see what they can do. IT does move, but it doesn't lift the jeep... I'll try again later this week, and go from there... thanks again.
