It might be with all the other stuff missing or going wrong in my shop.Might also be my teenage son and friends.But seriously noonebelse hasn't had this trouble before from a floor jack

I bent the frame on my 3.5 ton craftsman, the cylinder leaks, and it freaking sucks. Has from day one. Roommate has a 3-3.5 ton LARGE footprint one from costco. Can turn handle to lower, instead of having to turn teh bleed screw thing on my craftsman.

For the cost, if you use it regularly, go get the costco one or the harbor freight one.

It use not do it thats why I thought it might need rebuilding.How hard is it to rebuild one?Where to get a breakdown diagram?
