Leaky Rusted Vintage Floor Jack Restoration (Snap-on)

[@RebuiltRestored]

Thanks for checking out this Snap-on jack restoration! I bought this for $120 off of Fb Marketplace. With the jack, parts, paint, and jack oil, I have about $383 or so into this. Was it worth it? I really like the way it turned out. Let me know what you think! Thanks for watching. I do appreciate it!

I bought the same jack from the dealer for $200 used. It lasted me 39 years before taking a shit. The hydraulic unit was called a "power unit" to the tune of 600 bucks! Went to the local rubber and gasket company and spent $56 for seals and made the nylon pump seal. Works like a charm.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Awesome. Hopefully this one will live for another 39 years +. And that is quite pricey for a new unit! Thanks for the info! 👍

[@rickmcbride6208]

Awesome restoration! I'm a retired mechanic who now restores old farm tractors. There's something about restoring equipment. We live in a disposable society where its easier to throw away and buy new. The trouble is that probably 2/3s of folks would have thrown this jack away and got a new one. This jack is just as good as new and you got the satisfaction of restoring it. Great job!

[@RebuiltRestored]

Very true! I appreciate the comment! We have some old tractors (8N) to redo at some point. Thanks for watching!

[@royfrady8219]

I agree. I'm a packrat. I have an old Ford 860, 961, and 3 old ford F-100s to restore.

[@Purqix]

It was already working so I would've bought it just for that honestly

Your videos gave me the confidence to restore an old abused craftsman radial arm saw from the 80’s and an ancient bench vise that was very well used from a mechanic shop. Both turned out great and work flawlessly.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Very very cool! Keep up the good work and have a great week!

[@AcuraLvR82]

I also have the exact same jack, found mine in a scrap metal pile for $3. Did spend about $200 having a hydraulic machine shop rebuild the cylinder. One mod I had to do was remove the nubs that hold the saddle side supports to the jack body, drilled out to 1/2 inch and replaced with heavy duty bolts. Bought an oem handle brand new on ebay when I found one come up. Thing is an absolute beast, easily lifts my Hondas 2 feet off the ground without sweat. I feel one restored and painted like yours is easily worth a few thousand dollars, as they are true industrial grade and last a very long time. Thank you for the video.

[@RebuiltRestored]

Very cool! Thanks for the comment! $3 is a much better deal! Great find👍👍👍

[@ronniemullis8717]

I watched this almost a year ago and watched it again. I’m still amazed at the quality of craftsmanship this gentleman has.

[@sstjacques]

I tried doing this with an old Larin Jack, never worked the same after taking apart and re-assembled with rebuild kit.. I gave up and junked it. This is very cool.

[@michaelmiles9840]

This dude is stocked with harbor freight tools fixing a snap on jack. I freaking love it. I am a mechanic that fell into snap on and own way to many snap on tools. This goes to show you don't need that junk. It's an expensive name. Good job.

Great rebuild for sure. Probably can’t yet afford Snap On tools… but keep doing videos like this and you will soon be able to afford anything!!😊

I bought the lincoln branded jack 93642 new in 1988 , rebuilt the cylinder 2 times and still use it today. It was $300 new. I also have the snap on one shown in the video , rebuilt the cylinder on that one also. These jacks are made to last several lifetimes as long as $40 seal kits are available.

[@dietergoldschmitt9651]

These jacks are amazing. I have 3 of them in my shop. There about 20 years old and do need a rebuild occasionally because they do start to leak fluid from over use and exceeding recommended weight limit. One just crapped out recently and will need to be gone through but they do last a lifetime.

it used to be that way in America . you built a brand over many many years . the great names became world famous for their quality. any company that discounts the workers is not a worthwhile company. the ultimate point of a premium brand is you buy it and never think twice. you do not waste energy comparing and testing - you spend the money and go on with your work. i bought snap-on combo wrenches for my bike repair shop. loved using them all the time.
