While it is a fairly new jack, Norco did NOT rush it out, they worked on it for over a year, so it has been thoroughly run through the ringer. If you're running on a tight budget and need the most value, the biggest 'bang for your buck'They are NOT the typical pieces of crap coming out If you have the money GO THE MILWAUKEE! It IS the best damn jack out This is going to get confusing, but bear with us� The Milwaukee Model 20 is entirely made in America of completely American made components. is therefore the most expensive. The Norco 71233 is a 'NEW Product' designed with an extra Low Profile and is built in China.

The Norco 71202A (formerly made in America) is now built in Taiwan. It is a heavy frame model designed for serious jacking such as found in busy tire shops. While We're Speaking of 'crap' coming out of China...T-Shirt Billy Idol In early May of 1998 I had the opportunity to talk with a Vice PresidentMirror To Wall Glue of a major jack manufacturer. Akc Puppies For Sale WiWe talked about the future of American jacks, especially with his company making a big move into importing Chinese jacks in the next year, During the course of the conversation he mentioned that he was at a trade show and had gotten into an argument with a VP from another major jack makerSomewhere along the line the question of 'How many cycles can you get

from a typical, bargain priced, All-Chinese made floor jack before it starts leaking' came up. They BOTH agreed on the number 10! Let me say that again, two VP's from major jack makers agree that you will only get 10 (ten) uses out of a typical ($59 - $79) All-Chinese made floor jack before it starts I guess if you only use a jack 3 or 4 times a year to change your oil or adjust your brakes you might get a few years of use out of a cheap All-Chinese made floor jack, but if you are at all SERIOUS about using a floor jack - Quite honestly, you're pissing away your money on one! So, there you go - Your Mileage May Vary... 3 Ton FLOOR JACK Norco has been the first respectable company to come out with a floor jack specifically designed to lift the popular SUV's that have been so well accepted over the past few years.It's pretty much the same design as the 71203A 2 1/4 ton model but with a significantly heavier frame (162 pounds versus 97 pounds) a higher lift (24 3/4" versus 20"), yet retaining

the attractive 3 3/4" low lift height. Also, the new "A" model now features double pumping pistons to raise the lift arm quicker. If your lifting demands include a wide variety of vehicles such as cars, trucks and SUV's, this could well be your best choice on an all-around jack to keep in your garage. 4 - 5 Ton FLOOR JACKS COMPARED First off - PRICE! The Milwaukee is made in America while the Norco is imported from China (although built by a well repected Japanese Company using high quality Japanese seals). This primarily accounts for the Norco having the lowest price. While the NORCO is full sized (alligator), permanent handle style floor jacks the Milwaukee has an easily removeable handle making it quite portable - You can actually get this jack into a Volkswagen bug and drive it over to a friend's house... And it takes up quite a bit less shop space in your garage.A downside to the shorter chassis is - If you tend to always be lifting your vehicle from, say, the back pumpkin,

the other model is a little bit easier to roll under, set and pump because of the longer length. The Norco uses a single pumping piston with a foot pump to help raise the lift arm to the load quickly. uses two pump pistons to move things along quicker. All systems seem to work fine with no real stand out differences. The Milwaukee starts at 4 5/8" and raises to 24" The Norco starts at 5 5/8" and raises to 22" For releasing the Milwaukee uses a knob on top of the handle screwing against a lever pulling on a needle valve, the Norco's requires pulling up on a lever in the handle and turning it about a quarter turn to begin releasing. A few people prefer the American jack here, pulling up on the lever works okay, but people like the simplicity of turning a knob - It's comfortable, like turning on a water faucet... Fortunately, both designs have been around for a long time and are fairly well PROVEN - You're not going to go too far wrong with any of them...

For pumping power, the Milwaukee uses twin chromed pistons working against O-Rings while the Norco uses a similar system but with a single steel piston. offers a foot pump to bring the Lift Arm up quickly to the load, then the long handle is needed once the load is contacted. All brands have their pistons always exposed to the elements, however the Norco has a protective cover over their hydraulic unit while the Milwaukee does not (but keep in mind, their pistons are chromeAll models feature a 45 degree to horizontal pumping arc - Convenient for lifting while deep under the vehicle. For Main Rams the Norco uses a Poly-Urethane U-Cup against a steel cylinder wall while the Milwaukee uses a Chromed piston againstTo prevent over-extension, they both use an internal Both have a round cast iron saddle/pad with four raised guides. Milwaukee uses a welded on caster shoulder with replaceable metal casters while Norco's bolt on.

Milwaukee uses a roll pin to keep their caster in place while Norco's bolts through its holder. The Milwaukee is warranteed for one year while the Norco has a lifetime warranty against defects in parts and workmanship.Also, Both companies have several service centers across the OKAY, ENOUGH OF THIS BUNK, ALREADY, JUST TELL ME WHAT THE HELL TO BUY! Bang for the buck - The American made MILWAUKEE is a hell of a deal for a four ton floor jack, and is the only model that can be broken down and squished into a VW Bug! For a long reach jack good for lifting from the 'pumpkin' and an attractive price - Go the Norco! So, there you are - That wasn't so hard. And, as usual, your mileage may vary...
