Re: jack where
 

Nope, I disagree!

I saw a brand new one in use and helped to get something up with it.

That damn new one still tried to take my ear off.

I recently showed a gent who insisted on trying his how fast they come
down. I hit it just at the right click and his 'new' one dropped to
the ground! Taking the jacked up Jeep with it!

They are pure dangerous crap, old or new.
