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.

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

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!

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.

One item there was a change to the oil reservoir when you put it on turn it off center of the oil release hole approximately 7 to 10 degrees. When you lower the jack, the oil will or can come out through the vent. I made this change back in approximately 1995 and applied at the factory on the new models. Well done ✅
