I have a Craftsman 3 ton floor jack, it will lift fine, but after a short while it will let it self back down. What could it be, if it is the seals is it a easy fix, my buddy to me to throw it away and get a new one if its the seals.
If you are having a problem with the jack slipping...if its Craftsman , they may take it back and provide a replacement. Even if you could fix it, it never works that same. It is not worth your life. I know, I lost my husband when a jack slipped 3 years ago this month.
Your buddy is right "gravedesigns".It's not worth getting squished over, no joke!!

Does it come down very slowly, or fast?
If you are prepared to throw it away, pulls it down first and see if you can replace the seals. You may be able to buy them, or even make them.
If you then find you cant fix it, only then throw it out. Good luck!
