Black Jack 2.25 Ton Trolley Jack with 2.25 Ton Jack Stands in Case Black - T82253W

This review is for the Black Jack 2-1/4 Ton Hydraulic Trolly Jack with Jack Stands. It comes with a case that fits everything and has a carrying handle. Both the jack and the stands are rated for 2-1/4 tons. It came pretty much assembled. I just has to slip the yellow handle on the jack itself. It slips over the 2 nuts on either side. The jack says it has an over-pump bypass protection to prevent damage to the hydraulic seals. The jack stands automatically lock into place. I keep this in my pickup truck. Although it is great to use as a means to raise the vehicle when performing maintenance or in an emergency, I have a 2nd use for it. I have a trailer hitch crane that attaches to my tow hitch. It works great, but there is one problem. The receiver is 16 inches off the ground, which is a perfect height for the crane. But when I pick something up, such as my generator, and load it onto my truck bed, the added weight of the load makes it very difficult to remove the crane from the receiver. I simply put this jack under the receiver so it won't lower when I load the truck and the crane slides right out. Then I let the jack down. This removes the headache I had of trying to get it out when it was wedged in the receiver. What a time and labor saver. I never leave home without it. 5 stars.

Right up front, I’ll say that I rate items based on value for price paid. A $75 jack probably won’t perform the same as a $500 jack, and to expect it to is silly. That said, I’m pretty impressed with this Torin / Black Jack trolley jack. It’s not a commercial duty floor jack, and doesn’t pretend to be. It’s a nice trolley jack with a high enough capacity to lift a corner of about any modern car, and most trucks. If you’re not familiar with hydraulic jacks. Please take a few moments to read the included instructions. The vast majority of hydraulic jack “failures” are caused by people not knowing how to use them. There is a screw that must be tightened to raise, and loosened to lower, the jack. Use the handle. Takes literally a fraction of a second, but it must be done. I had read some complaints about this particular jack not holding the weight of even a small car. Found that very hard to believe. Jacked up the front right of a Mercedes C300 and let it sit overnight (see photo). Didn’t bleed down even a millimeter. This is designed to change a tire, service brakes, or lift a vehicle enough to get it onto jack stands. It’s not made to center jack a vehicle so you can roll under and remove a transmission. It’s low profile enough to get under my mid size Mercedes sedan, and lift it enough to get it on jack stands. 5-¼” to 13-¾” range. That’s good, but be aware that the vehicle’s suspension travel takes up maybe half of that. It probably wouldn’t lift a full size pickup truck’s wheels off of the ground without placing a block between the jack and the frame of the truck. Comes with two jack stands, and a blow-molded carry case. The jack stands are also rated at 2.25 tons, and my measured range is 10” to 15”. I got this to replace a similar jack that I had for over 20 years and gave to a young relative. Used properly, these things are pretty much bulletproof. They are basically a small bottle jack attached to a frame. Not much can go wrong, and not much ever does go wrong, unless the jack is misused and loses fluid. Bottom line? Nice garage jack at a good price. The case isn’t heavy duty, but really nice to have. Maybe even toss it in the back of your truck - it’s FAR better than the jacks that come with today’s vehicles.

Very handy automotive jack. The jack and jack stands come in a nice travel case. The 2 ¼ ton (4,500 Lbs.) was more than capable of lifting the front end of my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I would recommend this kit for the home handy person who wants to save money by changing their own oil or tires. Should pay for itself after several uses. Thanks

I needed a new jack because my old one wouldn't stay up. I found this one, and the fact that it came with jack stands was even better! When the store employee came out from the stock room with it, I was blown away. The jack and stands came in a blow mold carrying case! What a great way to transport it, and keep everything together! The jack and stands are well made and very sturdy. They have a nice painted finish that is durable. The jack is easy to operate, and lifts easily. The stands work great, and are super sturdy!

so far from the looks it will do what it was purchased for. and that is to be put in my truck for roadside emergencies. The mixed reviews gave me a little concern but after reading what they said about it . I decided to get it because most negative reviews were from people using it as a garage floor Jack. They were trying to use a tool designed for one task. And instead of buying what they needed for Pacific job trying to save money. This isn't a garage floor jack and they dont market it as one. For me and what it was bought for to use in a roadside emergence. This is a good product because i wanted a jack to use with ease so in that situation i could be off the side of road quickly as possible . Because the scissor Jack that came with truck was missing. This was a good choice for my situation for buying. Just remember what your intentions for using it and what it was designed for this isn't a floor jack or is it marketed as a alternative to one. For me i found the negative reviews didn't match because of where i would be using it. Everyone must consider the job they exspect this tool to work. For me it was a good and safe tool to purchase at a fair price for what it gives. I hope it helps

For the price, I'm truly mind blown. This set has exceeded expectations. It lifts my SUV with little to no effort and it holds like a champ. It also comes with a nifty case to keep it all together!

I bought this for my brother. He works on cars and his Jack came up missing. When got this he was so excited, he loved how it was nicely packaged in its on carrying case. He has worked on seven cars, different sizes and it works well. Very sturdy!

The price point was excellent for a jack, stands and carrying case. The jack doesn't raise high enough for my vehicle( GMC Terrain) and the jack stands slip sometimes. It would be great for smaller cars just not mine.

This jack worked once before it leaked oil. The cotter pin on the lift broke and the arm is now loose and can not be used. It was a cheap price. But it is also a VERY CHEAP product.

Was cheated by Walmart on buying this item on discount price and felt that I was scammed by their “sale price”, or even their,”membership price,” and that it’s completely unfair to anyone who actually uses the program.
