Craftsman 9-50284 12 Ton Hydraulic Bottle Jack

There are lots of these on the market so I ordered the Craftsman to be sure I get a high quality unit. Glad I spent a little more and got this one. Follow the printed directions to bleed out any air that entered during shipping then work away.

MUCH BETTER THAN GARBAGE SCISSOR JACK THAT CAME WITH CAR.12 TON A BIT OVERKILL BUT I PREFER TO BE ALIVE AFTER CHANGING A FLAT.YOU DO HAVE TO BLEED THIS JACK.PULL THE RUBBER STOPPER ON BACK OF JACK TURN HANDLE COUNTER CLOCK WISE PUMP ABOUT 10 TO 15 TIMES UNTIL ALL AIR IS PURGED PUT BACK RUBBER STOPPER CLOSE HANDLE AND YOUR GOOD TO GO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THAT JACK OIL IS FULL.I TOP IT OFF TO MAKE SURE.GOOD LUCK AND BE CAREFUL ONLY USE JACK OIL !

I did not recieve the Professional line of jack (black and pictured). I recieved the all red standard version. I used to work at Sears in the tool dept and have one of the professional series ones already and wanted a second one, so i ordered this one. The numbers matched in the description to the one I have. Additionally the box was mutilated and the jack itself was badly scratched and the paint was chipped off.

This jack is easy to use, compact to store and works great for our 26’ travel trailer.

Box was beat to death thought it was an old return. Seemed new in battered box. Worked out the box no bleeding needed. Better fitting handle has locking device to hold the 2 half's of handle bar, and fitting on pump for handle fits good with no slop or popping out like other cheap jacks. SO FAR SO GOOD!

Bought this one a few years ago at the local Sears store, now about to close for good. The Professional line is manufactured to a higher standard, unfortunately mine worked only once. Too late for return or warranty. The big hex gland on top could not be remove even with a 36" pipe wrench. Need a larger wrench, LOL. So not able to check the seals, too bad. Pretty good heavy door weight if there is one.

Does the job at a great price.
