About china made things, did you ever thought that it’s not all the things that they make that are low quality is just the once that Americans import from them because of the low price,
Also do a search on craftsmen jacks and all of them have problems and most of them have recalls, look also in the SEAR online, and read the comments.
I but two one did not work when I got it out of the box and the other started to leak.
just something to think abut.
and craftsmen life time warranty dos not apply to jacks.

yea my craftsman leaks like crazy and of course there is no warranty on it. talk about a safety hazard with slippery fluid all over the place and the chances of pressure loss and the car falling. 
im all about buying american but with crap like that and no warranty, sometimes it makes me wonder. maybe if i put some stop leak in it

http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?fo...action=product you can google the jack name also. Same jack most in NASCAR use just less pumps to get it up.
OTC makes a jack also made here I think.
another http://www.ohiohydraulic.com/marquette1.htm
I buy everything I can here and if it's more I just wait and save.

how will you remove the tire in question as that is usually what you need a jack for besides working under it.

its a jack just like any other where the proper way of doing it is using a jack stand after you raise the car. besides the vette bodies are so rock solid that the rear will lift as you raise the front with a jack. so im sure you can just do that as well. if you need to change a front tire, raise the rear and im sure the front will go up too
