Walker > Lincoln > Hein-Werner

Walker made the best hydralic floor jack on the planet.. smoothest release you'll find. I've owned mine since 1974. At the time Walker was used in most automotive shops.. too pricey for home use, I bought one anyway - worth every penny.

The original Walker design lives on...

Wow those seem cool. Couldn't find any prices though. Let me just borrow yours I'm in Whittier to haha. How high does your jack get too in order to lift your Jk?

Yes we live in the same town... I grew up in Whittier when it was mostly orange groves.

I don't have a JK, yet ... and my Walker floor jack is 1.5 Ton. Not sure how high it goes, but I have pulled and installed Corvair engines with it and is still a solid hydralic jack. That web site is the manufacturer.. you need to search for a distributor that sells Hein-Werner.

They do have all the specs on their site ... read the fine print before buying.
