I have lifter 185lbs with mine, and it gave in under 235. The threads pulled out of the aluminum. This is the same jack that comes with a Husky brand jack and jackstands at home depot for 159.

By the way, your home office looks very nice and cleancut! The jack really doesn't look out of place on your desk at all. Thanks for the photos, Dano.

So far, the max payload I tried was a 15 lbs frozen turkey. http://www.flickr.com/photos/22211495@N05/sets/72157603562416142/ Well, I jacked up a few things around the house.

I bought it about 2 years ago. I can't believe the kid clerk told me "you know this can't be used on cars right? " I wanted to curse him out but I just said, "yeah ok". I think it fits in with the Craftsman tool chest I have in my home office. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17901468?hilite= I'm going to give it a test when I get home and see what it could lift. I never thought about actually using it to jack anything up. I have this thing. I bought it about 2 years ago.

I thought this was *tool*monger, not *tchotchke*monger. Save electrons and cover actual tools and not crap like this. Seriously? $25 for this unusable piece of junk?

Add a brick on top, and it might lift the rear wheel of a small motorcycle off the ground just enough to lube the chain or remove the tire. Hmm..... I think I'll pick one up and try it out.
