We're new to this site, and want to comment on lifts. We're the guys who make the J & S lifts, and hate to disagree with Hubbard, but we have never been to Daytona, and our lifts have never had a 1500# capacity. They have a 2000# capacity. We have sold many lifts and have had 0 complaints about bolts bending. We use 1/2" grade 5 bolts, and they are extremely hard to bend. Our lifts are 100% guaranteed. The jack is designed to bend at the point of the bottle jack head when lifted past its potential of 2000#. This has only happened to two people out of the 1000's of jacks we have sold. One person jacked up his full size farm tractor front end to change tires. The lift did the job but bent the cross bridge that the bottle jack pushes on. The other was trying to jack up his cabin and bent it in the same place. (We replaced both the these items - free). There was no popping sounds or bent bolts anywhere. Our name and number are on all of our jacks in two places. I think Hubbard may not have had a J & S Jack, and if it was our lift, it should have been brought to our attention so corrective action could be taken. That's what a guarantee is for. This isn't a sales pitch. We just want to clarify some misinformation. Thanks for your time. Jim and Steve, J & S Jacks
Yeah, 'er 'uh, Jim and Steve,
You could be right, and I could be wrong. Won't be the first time, nor will it be the last! However, I don't make a habit of puttin' out "misinformation." Don't think it was the bolts that bent, it was the tubing. I'll take pictures of my Jack when I return from Florida, and post them here. If it's your Jack, it is, if it ain't, it ain't. Whose ever Jack it is, it's a good Jack, or I would have trashed it when it failed. That's why I opted to repair it. Furthermore, as a Commercial Truck Dealer, and no rookie to what is warrantable, per say, I use whatever means are at my disposal, to skin whatever cat is in question. In other words, if it's broke, and I think it's worth fixin', I fix it. I don't wait for someone else to make these decisions for me. I make them. All manufacturers, you included, sometimes turn out a product that is somewhat inferior to its implied, or intended purpose. I meant no disrespect to you, or your Company. You can rest assured if HUBBARD's wrong, I will do my best to make it right. I'm glad you are here, and look forward to your input. Later--HUBBARD
