After a month riding around in the back of my truck on a pallet and snow finally melting, I took the Milwaukee Model 40 off the pallet. Man is this baby a sight to behold and it is rugged!

Had to put new front tires on the 4630 today, and I used the new Milwaukee jack, man is it awesome!

Got the email yesterday from Milwaukee that the Model 40 is built and ready to ship. I called them shortly after with payment info and it should be shipping out next Tuesday. It took 4 months, hopefully it's worth the wait. The woman I spoke with told me they only build 50 Model 40s at a time, which is why it's such a wait. I'm looking forward to getting a quality US made floor Jack!

Bespoke floor jacks ?

I gotta quit hanging out in threads like this.... too dangerous to my bank account ! :laughing:

Congratulations Hap, that looks like a great jack. I've never regretted buying quality.

Thanks Dave, and yes, TBN in general can be dangerous to the bank account, but like you I don't mind spending the money on a quality product, especially US made.

Very nice unit! Not many people realize that it would be much more expensive to replace many Chinese jack over the year then to just buy one well made American jack. I feel this way about everything I buy, I would rather save up a little longer and get a tool or anything for that matter that will last a lifetime.

I am looking at Milwaukee jack and also U.S. Jack CO. I am leaning towards Milwaukee, is it still treating you well and have you pushed it to its weight limit at all?

It's awesome, definite quality! I haven't needed to push its limit as of yet. I have several "U.S. Jack" bottle jacks, also a great jack, but they don't make floor jacks.
